Hawaiian Eruption
The Hawaiian eruption has liquid lava, which is sent into the air from the vent or the line of vents in jets. In these types of volcanic eruptions, the jets could last for hours, which are called a “fire fountain.” When the bits of lava fall down after being shot up they can make lava flows or they will build hills which are called spatter cones. If the lava is flowing fast enough it could travel several kilometers before it hardens after cooling down. The reason why these types of volcanic eruptions are called Hawaiian eruptions is because of the Kilauea volcano which can be found on Hawaii’s Big Island. This volcano is famous for its amazing fire fountains. In 1969 through to 1974, Mauna Ulu had Hawaiian eruptions, which produced lava fountains that shot up into the air while the eruption was taking place. An example of a Hawaiian eruption is a Kilauea Volcano.
