Recommended: Myths about volcanoes

The article I have chosen for this assessment is about a volcano. This volcano resides in Hawaii on the big island, it is called Kilauea. It is Hawaii’s youngest and most active volcano.

  • Kiueea And The Volcanoes

    849 Words  | 2 Pages

    Kilauea is the youngest volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Still active, there have been 34 eruptions since 1983. Kilauea is a shield volcano, meaning it covers a wide range of area, and has sloping sides. Kilauea is usually confused as being a smaller part to the neighboring Mauna Loa volcano, but it has it’s own lava flow system which makes it special to the Hawaiian islands. The history of eruptions from Kilauea is lengthy and the volcano’s name actually means, “spewing.” The oldest documented samples of lava date back almost 3,000 years and the oldest human documented eruption happened in 1823.
