On which island is Mauna Loa located on?
Mauna Loa is a large shield volcano on the "big island" of Hawaii in the US state of Hawaii. Mauna Loa occupies more than half the island and erupts almost continuously, adding to the land area of the island with its lava flows. Hawai'i is the latest island of the Hawaiian islands to form. It is believed that all five of the existing islands (and some sea mountains) were formed by the same type of crustal rift that is feeding Mauna Loa. As the Pacific Plate slid over a "hot spot" in the underlying mantle, magma escaped to make new eruptions and form new islands. (see related link)
