Hawaii can't catch a break; Mauna Loa Volcano now showing signs of unrest

[Billy_Bob]

Earlier today USGS raised the threat level from green to yellow. Crust deformation and earthquakes near surface are worrying observers..

Looking more and more like another volcano is about to go active...

I've heard of them blowing in sequence, but not at the same time. That would suck.

With the level of ferocity Kilauea is erupting and the hotter magma flowing sub-crust, it really does not surprise me that others are becoming active..

 

[Care4all]

will the whole ''Ring of Fire'' volcanoes erupt eventually? Is the plate moving?

The plate is always moving.... As the surface continues to cool it will shrink just like all things do and create an increase in pressures...

Here's a new arti. just out.

Helicopter airlifts trapped residents as lava from Hawaii volcano speeds up, air quality diminishes

 

[Billy_Bob]

Closure of main Hwy that is the only escape route raises major concerns...

Today Kilauea covered the main Hwy and escape route with lava. Mandatory evacuations are now the order of the day from the affected areas..

Mauna Loa is still rumbling and rising making vulcanologist very nervous. Mauna Loa sits atop its own magma feed and is not connected in the upper crust to Kilauea, so it appearing to become more active is worrying. Kilauea's magma flow is very hot as lava goes and is very fluid. This means the hot spot feeding both volcanoes is now directly above the hot hole in the earths plate....

Worries about major eruptions are running rampant in geologist circles...

Just saw this a minute aggo

Just saw this a minute aggo

I saw that... the idiot was on his deck, at his home, when it splattered him. This means his home wont be there much longer..

He must have thought it was a conspiracy when they told him to evacuate lol. Trump hater bahahah.

California is on the far east of that ring of fire.

Didn't you post another thread about the government preparing for a massive Earthquake in California? Something about FEMA preparing to bug folks out into Arizona or something like that?

California is on the far eastern side of the "ring of fire."

The 'Big One' will be deadlier than thought: A massive earthquake could plunge large parts of California into the sea INSTANTLY

• The discovery was made after studying the Newport-Inglewood fault
• Major earthquakes on the fault centuries ago caused areas to sink 3ft
• Today that could result in the area ending up at or below sea level
• Scientists believe the 'Big One' is now overdue to hit California

It is not uncommon for multiple events to be active all at once, induced by geomagnetic forces, or interstellar pressures.

If it is, folks in California might want to take a summer vacation.

Wow...those are some intense pictures in the article!

Thanks for the info...you make it very understandable

Cool.

The show this planet is capable of putting on is unrivaled.

While the Ring of Fire is not connected to the Hawaii volcanoes it does present a problem for it. As the center of the plate flexes, under cross stress, it builds until one side of the plate releases. The far east has been relieving stress quite regularly with magnitude 5-6 quakes over the last few years while the US side has not. Sub-ducting pressures are building and it is just a matter of time before volcanoes on our side of the ring need to give off the stress and movement of our fault zones happens.

With major pressure relief, centrally located under the plate, the edges will move very soon.

If Mauna Loa goes active, all of the big island could have major problems..

 

[WillMunny]

Being the newest land on the planet, the Big Island simply goes through these birth contractions from time to time. As scary, emergent and hellish as it looks, what you are seeing is creation, not destruction.

To answer an earlier poster, the Pacific plate has been moving northwest a tiny fraction of an inch a year for god knows how many millions of years. That's why these Pacific Island chains (i.e., Hawaii, Tahiti, Cook Islands) tend to be roughly arranged from northwest to southeast, the northwestern islands being the oldest, smallest, and most weathered down by the elements.

Yes, I've been to these Pacific paradises enough times for enough years it's my running travel joke that I'm secretly a Polynesian inside a white man's physical body. The island locals always get a kick out of that.

Hawaii's volcanos have a-a flows don't they? So they don't really explode as much as they ooze lava.

Usually...

Until big rocks fall into and block lava tubes or water enters the equation. The little burp last week sent rocks and ash to 30,000 feet. Now with hotter magma into the mix, that can be a lot bigger..
