GEOSC 10: Unit 3: Plate Tectonics II A few more pictures of the eruption from the East Rift of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. These pictures were taken from the good folks at Hawaii Volcano Observatory of the United States Geological Survey, a truly wonderful resource. They have LOTS of additional information, pictures, maps, movies, and more. We picked these few for you as being especially illustrative, well-related to things in the other slide shows, and really pretty. Have fun!

GEOSC 10: Unit 3: Plate Tectonics II Map of lava flows from east rift of Kilauea, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, as of July 21, “Campout” flow (red) subsequently has reached the sea. USGS

GEOSC 10: Unit 3: Plate Tectonics II _CCH_large.jpg USGS Feb. 17, Toe of lava in breakout, Campout flow. Width of view about 3 feet (1 m).

GEOSC 10: Unit 3: Plate Tectonics II _TO_large.jpg USGS June 25, Looking east at lava falls. Cliff is ft (12-15 m) high.

GEOSC 10: Unit 3: Plate Tectonics II _CCH_large.jpg USGS June 30, Molten lava under crust of Campout breakout. The glowing “shark's mouth” with lava-drip stalactites for teeth, is about 3 feet (1 m) wide.

GEOSC 10: Unit 3: Plate Tectonics II ve/ _2810-SRB_large.jpg August 2, Molten lava raised a hardened upper crust and then spilled out, edge of the Campout flow.

GEOSC 10: Unit 3: Plate Tectonics II _2198-CH_large.jpg August 4, Campout flow reaches the sea, forming a new bench (left) almost 200 feet long and 25 feet wide (55 m x 8 m).

GEOSC 10: Unit 3: Plate Tectonics II _0287-AD_large.jpg August 5, Campout flow. The upper crust hardened, then raised and broke as more lava moved beneath to leak out the front. Layers can be raised 10 feet or more in a few days in this way.

GEOSC 10: Unit 3: Plate Tectonics II _CCH_L.jpg Sept. 20, The breakout of the Campout flow cascades over the sea cliff, which is about 50 feet (15 m) high.

GEOSC 10: Unit 3: Plate Tectonics II IMG_2479-c-Elae_L.jpg ve/ 31 August From the huge steam plume the far left of the picture where the young black lava meets older plant-covered flows is about 3 miles, over very rugged terrain on foot.
