Hawaiian Volcanoes By Jenna Naone
2
Volcanoes Kilauea Mauna Loa Hualalai Eruptions in Hawaiian Volcanoes are usually preceded by a series of earthquakes which open fissures and allow magma to reach the surface.
3
Kilauea Pu’u’O’o-Kupaianaha eruption of Kilauea Kilauea is the youngest volcano and one of the world’s most active Three main areas of eruption - the summit - two rift zones

Eruptions of Kilauea Most Eruptions are relative- ly gentle Lava flows downslope Gradually building up the volcano giving it a gentle, shield-like form

Future of Kilauea The future looks much like the past. Continued eruptions through the rest of human history!
