What are the parts of mauna loa?

Answer 1

Aloha: Sorry I missed this. I don't know exactly what you want, but the Hawaiian name "Mauna Loa" means "Long Mountain." Tthe subaerial part of Mauna Loa extends for about 120 km from the southern tip of the island to the summit caldera and then east-northeast to the coastline near Hilo.

The summit caldera, or the part at the top which is the crater, is called Moku`aweoweo, [mo-coo ah-vway-o-vway-o]. "Moku" refers to a coastal land section or islet; "`aweoweo" is a type of red Hawaiian fish. This makes the literal translation 'fish section' (the red of the fish suggests red lava).

Answer 2

Mauna Loa consists of a summit caldera, rift zones, a lava shield, and various vents where lava erupts. The summit caldera is a depression at the top caused by the collapse of the volcano after a large eruption. The rift zones are areas where the volcano's flanks have split apart and new lava emerges. The lava shield is the broad, gently sloping dome-shaped feature formed by layers of hardened lava flows.
