基拉韋厄火山連續噴發

Kilauea Volcano Erupts - Dramatic Video

基拉韋厄是最年輕的火山和東南部大部分在夏威夷大島。地形基拉韋厄出現，因為只有一個隆起的東南翼的冒納羅亞和基拉韋厄這麼多年，被認為是一個單純的衛星巨人鄰居，而不是一個單獨的火山。然而，研究在過去幾十年中清楚地表明，基拉韋厄有自己的岩漿水管系統，延伸至地表以上60公里深的地球。

夏威夷意義
夏威夷的名字“基拉韋厄”的意思是“噴湧”或“大大擴展，”顯然在提到它的熔岩流爆發。爆發以來已連續 83年1月3日。據估計，第一次噴發的基拉韋厄
擁有 30萬和60萬年前。

Kilauea is the youngest and southeastern most volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Topographically Kilauea appears as only a bulge on the southeastern flank of Mauna Loa, and so for many years Kilauea was thought to be a mere satellite of its giant neighbor, not a separate volcano. However, research over the past few decades shows clearly that Kilauea has its own magma-plumbing system, extending to the surface from more than 60 km deep in the earth.

Hawaiian Meaning
The Hawaiian name "Kilauea" means "spewing" or "much spreading," apparently in reference to the lava flows that it erupts. Eruptions have been Continuous since January 3, 1983. It is estimated that the first eruption of Kilauea
has between 300,000 and 600,000 years ago.
