2. Lab Notebook Setup Name: _________Date:_____ Lab Partner: ____________ Predicting the Next Hawaiian Volcano Purpose: Can current geological data be used to predict the next Hawaiian Volcano? Prediction:

3. Lab Notebook Setup Cont... Observations: Observations: (Figure 1 – Map & Figure 2 – Data Table)

4. Movement of Pacific Plate over fixed Hawaiian “Hot Spot”

5. Determining Volcano Spacing Measure the distance from Mauna Loa to the other volcanoes on the Loa trend & record in data table. Measure the distance from Mauna Loa to the other volcanoes on the Loa trend & record in data table. Determine the “average” spacing – divide total distance by # of older volcanoes in Loa trend Determine the “average” spacing – divide total distance by # of older volcanoes in Loa trend

7. Data Table

8. Geologic Map of South Kilauea Island The Hilina Slump is a large landslide caused by lateral spreading of the volcano. Loihi is the youngest volcano on the Loa trend. Hohonu Seamount is a Cretaceousage volcano. QTa is a thin apron of nearly flat sediment Qpe is the undisturbed submarine lava flows on the flanks of the volcanoes. Qy is lava fields.
