Hawaiian eruptions may occur along fissure vents, such as during the eruption of Mauna Loa Volcano in 1950, or at a central vent, such as during the 1959 eruption in KÄ«lauea Iki Crater, which created a lava fountain 580 meters (1,900 ft) high and formed a 38-meter cone named Pu Ê» u Pua Ê» i.ery little amounts of volcanic ash are produced. This type of eruption occurs most often at hotspot volcanoes such as KÄ«lauea and Iceland, though it can occur near subduction zones (e.g. Medicine Lake Volcano in California, United States) and rift zones.
Mauna Loa erupted from NE rift zone vents high on the volcano in the early AM of 6 July 1975; lava flowed toward Mauna Kea. (image from USGS HVO website) Mauna Loa, or Long Mountain in Hawaiian, is located on the island of Hawaii. It is pictured above rising 13,680 ft. (4,170 m) above sea level (this photo was taken from over Loihi seamount, some 30 km or so to the south). Since 1832, Mauna Loa has erupted 39 times; its last eruption was in 1984.
