ARTICLES RELATED TO Kilauea | | | |  Kilauea: Encyclopedia II - Kilauea - DescriptionKīlauea's geographical location is 19.452 North, 155.292 West. It lies against the southeast flank of much larger Mauna Loa volcano. Mauna Loa's massive size and elevation (13,677 feet or 4,169 m) is a stark contrast to Kīlauea, which rises only 4,091 feet (1,247 m) above sea level, and thus from the summit caldera appears as a broad shelf of uplands well beneath the long profile of occasionally snow-capp ...

Volcano - Volcano formation.
Like most of the interior of the earth, the movements and dynamics of magma are poorly understood. However, it is known that an eruption usually follows movement of magma upwards into the solid layer (the earth's crust) beneath a volcano and occupying a magma chamber. Eventually, magma in the chamber is forced upwards and flows out across the planet surface as lava, or the rising magma can heat water in the surrounding landform and cause explosive discharges of st ...

Natural disaster - Blizzards and snowstorms.
A snowstorm is a winter storm noin which the primary form of precipitation is snow. When such a storm is accompanied by winds above 32 mph that severely reduce visibility, it becomes a blizzard. Hazards from snowstorms and blizzards include traffic-related accidents, hypothermia for those unable to find shelter, as well as major disruptions to transportation ...

| | | | Kilauea: Encyclopedia II - Lava - Lava composition and rheology Igneous rocks, which form lava flows when erupted, can be classified into three chemical types; felsic, intermediate and mafic. These classes are primarily chemical, however, the chemistry of a lava also tends to correlate with the magma temperature, its viscosity and its mode of eruption. It is fair to say that a lavas composition determines its behavior more than the temperature of its eruption.
Felsic lavas such as rhyolite and dacite are often associated with strombolian eruptions, and typically form lava domes, shee ...

| | | | Kilauea: Encyclopedia II - Pele mythology - The story Her father exiled her (from her homeland, Honua-Mea in Tahiti) because of her temper, most recently for fighting with her elder water-goddess sister Na-maka-o-Kaha'i, whose husband Pele had seduced. She sailed from Tahiti in a canoe guided by her shark-god brother Kā-moho-ali'i, and was followed by her still angry elder sister. Every time she landed on an island and created a new volcanic home, it was flooded out by Na-maka-o-Kaha'i. Finally, the epic battle ended near Hana, Maui, where Pele was torn apart by her sister. Legend says her ...
