What is happening to the plates that form Mauna Loa?
The tectonic plate that Mauna Loa sits on is moving northwestward over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle, creating a chain of volcanic islands in the Hawaiian archipelago. As the plate moves, new lava erupts on Mauna Loa, adding to its size and height. The volcano periodically erupts, releasing pressure from the magma chamber beneath it.
Does mauna loa have pyroclastic flow?
No. Mauna Loa is a shield volcano. It produces lava flows during its eruption but would almost never produce pyroclastic flows.
What is the cause of the Mauna Loa?
Mauna Loa is caused by hotspot volcanism, where a mantle plume creates a hotspot beneath the Earth's crust, leading to the formation of a volcano. As the Pacific tectonic plate moves over the hotspot, new lava erupts through the surface, gradually building the shield volcano that is Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Are mauna Loa and Mauna Kea the same?
No, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are not the same. They are separate volcanic peaks on the Big Island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea is the highest peak in Hawaii, while Mauna Loa is the largest volcano in terms of volume and one of the most active in the world.
Is what boundary is the Mauna Loa Volcano located on?
Mauna Loa is not located on a plate boundary. Mauna Loa is caused by a stationary hot spot in the Earth's mantle.
Does the Mauna loa volcano blow out fire?
No. Mauna Loa erupts lava, which is molten rock.
What type of rock material erupts from mauna loa?
rock
Does mauna loa have mafic or felsic magma?
Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii typically has mafic magma, which is rich in magnesium and iron, resulting in low viscosity and flowing lava. This magma composition contributes to the shield volcano shape and frequent eruptions on Mauna Loa.
What is happening to the plates that form Mauna Loa?
The tectonic plate that Mauna Loa sits on is moving northwestward over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle, creating a chain of volcanic islands in the Hawaiian archipelago. As the plate moves, new lava erupts on Mauna Loa, adding to its size and height. The volcano periodically erupts, releasing pressure from the magma chamber beneath it.
What makes Mauna Loa erupt so much?
It erupts so much because it is in a hot spot
Which volcano still erupts in Hawaii?
Mauna Loa and Kilauea. Hualalai is listed as active but not errupting. Mauna Kea is listed as Dormant and Kohala is listed as extinct.
Do you think that mauna loa will ever erupt again?
probaly yes because it erupts every 5 years
