This volcano has 33 recorded eruptions, first one being in 1843. Many more eruptions have mostly likely occurred way before this as well. This volcano is very, very big and is very old. This volcano tells us the age and how volcanoes form. The oldest rocks on Mauna Loa have been dated back between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago. And about 98 percent of the volcano’s surface is covered with lava flows less than 10,000 years old.

Eruptions from this volcano have caused taking out vast swaths of forests. The lava destroyed everything in its path. The eruptions also cause earthquakes, like in 1868 an earthquake occurred with an estimated magnitude of 8. It also caused damage to cities around it. The ash covers everything and sends gases in the air which could be harmful.
