Kilauea volcano in Hawaii erupted recently, sending lava fountains up to 30 meters high.
This is the 31st eruption since December 2024, continuing its active phase.
One of the world’s most active volcanoes.
Located in the southeastern part of the Big Island of Hawaii (Hawaii state, USA).
It is a shield volcano, characterized by broad, gentle slopes formed by fluid lava flows.
Height: 4,090 feet (1,250 meters).
The summit caldera contains a lava lake called Halema‘uma‘u, believed to be the home of the Hawaiian volcano goddess Pele.
Its slopes merge with the nearby Mauna Loa volcano on the west and north sides.
Has been erupting almost continuously since 1983.
Eruptions are usually non-explosive, confined within the caldera; lava sometimes overflows the floor and flanks of the caldera.
Shield volcanoes are the largest volcanoes on Earth with recognizable volcano shapes.
Composed mostly of basalt lava, which is very fluid and causes gentle slopes rather than steep peaks.
Eruptions tend to be low-explosivity lava fountains, forming cinder cones and spatter cones at vents.
Explosive eruptions are rare and generally occur if water enters the volcanic vent.
Built over millions of years by repeated eruptions occurring intermittently.
Hawaiian volcanoes, including Kilauea, are classic examples of shield volcanoes.
