Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano on the planet. It makes up about 51% of Hawaiiʻs Island and is 13,678 feet (4,170 m) above sea level. It is a shield volcano. Shield volcanoes usually have basaltic lava, which has a low viscosity - it flows very easily. This is why many shield volcanoes are larger; because they have layers of this type of lava

Among all the world's volcanoes, Mount Etna has the longest recorded history of eruptions, dating back to 1500 B.C. Since then, the volcano has erupted about 200 times.

# data[].attributes.body
Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times since 1843. The most destructive eruption occurred in 1950, when lava raced to the sea at a speed of 5 miles per hour destroying homes, businesses, roads and ranches. It´s last eruption was in April 15th 1984

The mount Saint Helens last erupted in 2008, on the 10th of July.

Near continuously active; some major historic eruptions include 122 BC (large Plinian outbursts that created the small caldera of the "Cratere del Piano"), 1669 AD (devastating flank eruption that destroyed 15 villages and part of Catania), 1787 (Subplinian eruption and one of the most spectacular summit eruptions on record - lava fountains reportedly up to 3000 m high).

Typical eruption style:
Effusive (lava flows) and mildly explosive (strombolian) eruptions. Both summit and frequent flank eruptions, the latter seem to be occurring in clusters lasting few to a few tens of years.

Etna volcano updates and eruption news:

Etna volcano (Sicily, Italy): increasing activity continues

Monday Aug 17, 2020 08:16 AM | BY: MARTIN

An ash plume rising from Etna volcano (image: INGV)

Extending ash plume from Etna volcano on 14 August (image: INGV)

Increasing strombolian activity continues at the saddle vent of the New SE crater.
On 14 August at 10:49 local time strombolian explosions produced a dark ash plumes which fluctuated a lot in frequency of explosions. The plume containing moderate amount of ash extended to the south-southeast of the volcano. Ashfall was reported in the area of Pedara, Trecastagni and Viagrande.
Seismicity remains at fluctuating levels associated with periods of increasing and decreasing tremor. The seismic station records internal tremor at 2900-3000 m altitude in area of New Southeast Crater.

What are scientists and the government doing to prepare and manage in the event of another eruption.

# data[].attributes.body
Scientist have been closely monitoring the volcano since it's last eruption to try and predict when any future eruptions could happen. They use continuous GPS sensors and satellites to measure deformation. Furthermore, they have been working with the state civil defense and county offices to prepare and educate communities that may live near possible lave vents.

🌋 Over the last 500 years, Mount St. Helens has had at least four major explosive eruptions and many minor eruptions

Effects of the May 18, 1980 eruption continue today. Biologists help wild salmon and steelhead by giving them a tank-truck ride to the pristine, clear creeks above sediment-choked rivers.

Mount St. Helens Has a Baby Volcano Inside It: https

- It was the biggest eruption in North America in over a century

# data[].attributes.body
It was on December 3, 2015. An eruption occurred which climaxed between 03:20 and 04:10 local time. The Voragine crater exhibited a lava fountain which reached 1 km (3,300 ft) in height, with an ash plume which reached 3 km (9,800 ft) in height.

# data[].attributes.body
Since it hasn't erupted for a long time it is not considered a hazard and it's a cultural and touristic place. Many people visit it every year and do trecking in it. However if it explodes Tokyo would be shut down and the eruption would have a negative impact on the city.

# data[].attributes.body
The last eruption was the 16th of December in the year 1707. And it hasn't erupted since then, but it is still considered active.  This eruption happened a long time ago that's why there is not much information about it, but what is know is that there were lots of houses who were damaged and  also agriculture activity was damaged that leaded to starvation to death in the city.

Mauna Loa's last eruption was the 15th of April, 1984, which lasted 3 weeks. There were no major damages and no lives were lost - only 16 miles of land owned by the state were destroyed. However, it has indirectly caused air pollution for all inhabitants of the island.

An enormous volcano four times larger than the 1980 eruption forced Native Americans out of the grounds nearly 4,000 years ago

Captain George Vancouver named the volcano for Britain’s ambassador to Spain

Its activity began 275,000 years ago

Mt. St Helen was made into a National Volcanic Monument in 1982

The Volcano is shrinking: In 1982 the summit of the volcano measured 8365 feet tall. In 2009 it measured 8330 feet

Deep magma chambers seen beneath Mount St. Helens

# data[].attributes.body
The emerging picture includes a giant magma chamber, between 5 and 12 kilometers below the surface, and a second, even larger one, between 12 and 40 kilometers below the surface. The two chambers appear to be connected in a way that could help explain the sequence of events in the 1980 eruption that blew the lid off Mount St. Helens.

# data[].attributes.body
The activity previous to the eruption started in March 27 that consisted of steam and ash, with some small mudflows

Before erupting, the volcano was 9,677 feet, now it is approximately 8,300 feet.

It was the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States.

The largest terrestrial landslide in recorded history

The volcanic ash cloud covered all USA in 3 days and encircled Earth in 15 days.

The highest ash cloud reached at least 70,000 feet

The eruption,  pyroclastic flow (hot rocks and debris) and lahars (volcanic mudflow resulting from almost the instantaneous melting of snowcap and ice) miles of forest, flattening or burning much of it outright.

Nearly all animals near died, 100 bird species extinct

57 people died, most were near the volcano exploring

There were injures 30 miles away

Within 3 minutes it blew down 230 square miles of forest.

The blast devastated 596 square kilometres (229 square miles)

Over 250 square miles of forest was destroyed in minutes

It severely damaged 61,200 acres of National Forest
