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.
Kohala is the oldest volcano on the island of Hawaii. It is about one million years old and erupted for the last time about 120.000 years ago. Kohala makes up the northern part of the Big Island (think: Waipiâo valley) and used to be a lot bigger. Shortly after its last eruption the northern part of the volcano collapsed into the ocean in a giant landslide.
