Hawaii's super-shocking archipelago volcano

Hawaii's super-shocking archipelagic volcano

The island of Hawaii is currently in the center of hot spots, and it is the place with the most frequent volcanic activity in the Hawaiian Islands. Mauna Loa volcano is 4,169 meters above sea level, but its height from the bottom of the sea to the top of the mountain is more than 1, meters, more than 1, meters higher than Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. Mauna Loa volcano is a typical shield volcano. Since 1832, it has erupted every three years on average. The continuous lava flow makes the mountain grow and increase, and it is known as the "great architect".

Before the eruption, the huge heat wave formed rolling clouds over the volcano, and the clouds produced lightning, which led to snowy weather. In order to change the flow direction of lava, the US government used military planes to bomb Kilauea volcano, which stands on the southeast side of Mauna Loa volcano, with an altitude of 1,247 meters and about 32 kilometers away from Mauna Loa volcano. Kilauea volcano is the second largest volcano on the island with a small volume.

When Kilauea volcano erupted in 1959, the lava ejection height reached 58 meters. From the beginning of 1983 to April of 1984, it broke out 17 times. Flames splashed, lava surged upward like a fountain, and the golden-yellow giant flow, like molten steel pouring out of a huge steel-making furnace, surged spectacularly. The lava leaving the crater, with a temperature of 1,1℃-1,2℃, flowed down the hill like a crimson river composed of basalt. Lava can flow at a speed of 32 kilometers per hour.
