Hawaii Volcano Mauna Lao: The world’s largest active volcano located in Maunaloa, Hawaii, started erupting after about 38 years. Earlier in the year 1984, there was an explosion in the volcano. The explosion could pose a danger to nearby residents, so warnings were given to leave the houses. The emergency crew is on alert since Monday. Let us tell you that this eruption started late on November 27 in the summit caldera of the volcano on the Big Island. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported this.
Recent earthquake tremors on the summit of the volcano have increased its concern, this reason is also being told for its eruption. According to the US Geological Survey, on 28 November the lava was only up to the summit and no danger was reported to the surrounding areas. But since the eruption, the concern about lava flow on the island has increased. About two million people have been warned that the volcano could be very mobile if an eruption occurs, so leave the area.
Since the eruption of the volcano, the emission of harmful gases has increased, such as sulfur dioxide which is considered extremely dangerous for living beings. At present, the air quality on the island is good, but experts believe that its eruption may worsen the air quality.
The agency said the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is consulting with emergency management personnel and that its personnel will conduct an aerial survey of the 13,674-foot (4,168 m) volcano as soon as possible. Hawaii officials said no evacuation orders had been issued, although several roads in the summit area and area were closed. The Hawaiian Islands are home to 6 active volcanoes. According to the USGS, Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times since 1843 on Earth. The most recent eruption, in 1984, lasted 22 days and produced lava flows that reached some seven kilometers (four miles) into the city of Hilo, which is home to about 44,000 people.
