The history finds out that Mauna Loa is the large volcano on earth. También existe una zona de ruptura menos definida en el norte, que se extiende hacia la Silla de Humuula, que marca la intersección entre Mauna Loa y Mauna Kea. Las rocas datadas más antiguas conocidas no son mayores de 200 000 años. The western (leeward) side has a much drier climate. [73]:154–155, Ancient Hawaiians constructed an extensive trail system on Hawaiʻi island, today known as the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail. [11]​ El volcán más antiguo de la isla, Kohala, tiene una edad de más de un millón de años,[12]​ y se cree que Kilauea, el volcán más joven, tiene una edad de 300.000 a 600.000 años. [39]​, Las erupciones históricas del Mauna Loa fueron típicamente erupciones hawaianas y raramente violentas. [39]​ Se produjeron posibles erupciones en torno a 1730, 1750, 1780 y en 1803. Grass had to be painstakingly brought from the lowest elevations for insulation to get accurate measurements. [62], Established on Kīlauea in 1912, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO), presently a branch of the United States Geological Survey, is the primary organization associated with the monitoring, observance, and study of Hawaiian volcanoes. They form a terrace against which younger flows have since banked, heavily eroded and incised against its slope in terms of direction; this is believed to be the result of a period of erosion because of a change in the direction of lava flow caused by the volcano's prehistoric slump. Después de otro día de ascensión, nueve hombres llegaron al borde del Mokuʻaweoweo. The last eruption took place in 1984 but scientists believe that the current signs point to the fact that it will erupt again. Stratovolcanoes are shaped the way they are because they are formed by alternating layers of lava and pyroclastic material, both of which have a higher viscosity, and thus a greater resistance to flow than the basalt-only … [42]​ Aunque el Mauna Loa es menos activo que su vecino, el Kilauea, suele producir un volumen de lava mayor en menos tiempo. Mauna Loa rises 13,697 feet above sea level. Mauna Loa (en hawaiano [ˈmɔunə ˈlowə]) es uno de los cinco volcanes que, junto con el volcán Kohala, el volcán Hualalai, el volcán Kilauea y el volcán Mauna Kea, forman la isla de Hawái en el estado de Hawaiʻi en el océano Pacífico. The largest subaerial volcano in both mass and volume, Mauna Loa has historically been considered the largest volcano on Earth, dwarfed only by Tamu Massif. [11], Mauna Loa is one of five subaerial volcanoes that make up the island of Hawaiʻi. Se especula que la extensa actividad freatomagmática que ocurrió durante este tiempo, contribuyó ampliamente a los depósitos de ceniza en la cumbre. This time the botanist consulted King Kamehameha I for advice and learned that he could take canoes to the south and follow the ʻAinapō Trail, not knowing of its existence beforehand. In 1916 Mokuʻāweoweo was included in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and a new trail was built directly from park headquarters at Kīlauea, an even more direct route than the one taken by Wilkes. Mauna Loa es el volcán más grande del mundo; tiene una superficie de 5271 km², y una anchura máxima de 120 km. Sin embargo, en el segundo día de camino la ruta se hizo más pronunciada, y bloqueado por «marañas impenetrables», y el grupo se vio obligado a abandonar su intento y regresar a la bahía de Kealakekua, calculando que habían «penetrado 24 millas y suponemos dentro de los 11 kilómetros de la cima»; en realidad, Mokuʻaweoweo se encontró a solo 32 km (20 mi) al este de la bahía, una sobreestimación severa por parte de Ledyard. Así, la primera erupción históricamente atestiguada y confirmada fue un evento en enero de 1843, fecha desde la cual Mauna Loa volvió a erupcionar 32 veces. [80], The next morning they were unable to start a fire using friction due to the thin air at that altitude, and sent for matches. [56][57] The United States Geological Survey maintains a hazard zone mapping of the island done on a one to nine scale, with the most dangerous areas corresponding the smallest numbers. David A. Clague, G. Brent Dalrymple (1987). The Mauna Loa Volcano is not only a big size; it is also one of the most active volcanoes in the world. However, it rumbled to life again in 1984, manifesting first at Mauna Loa's summit, and then producing a narrow, channelized 'a'a flow that advanced downslope within 6 km (4 mi) of Hilo, close enough to illuminate the city at nighttime. Much of the remainder of the volcano is hazard level three, about 15 to 20 percent of which has been covered by flows within the last 750 years. (2002). En febrero de 1794, Menzies hizo un tercer intento de ascender a la cumbre del Mauna Loa. Se vieron envueltos en una tormenta de nieve, y varios sufrieron del mal de altura. [21]​ La cumbre del Mauna Loa alberga tres cráteres de subsidencia superpuestos, dispuestos en un eje noreste-suroeste, el primero y el último con un diámetro de 1 km y el segundo en forma oblongo midiendo 4,2 x 2,5 km; en conjunto, estos tres cráteres forman la caldera Mokuʻaweoweo de 6,2 por 2,5 km,[22]​ así llamado por la semejanza de sus incendios eruptivos con la coloración del pez hawaiano ʻāweoweo (Priacanthus meeki). [76], Menzies made a third attempt to summit Mauna Loa in February 1794. Las cenizas de Pahala se produjeron durante un largo período hace aproximadamente 13 a 30 mil años, aunque una fuerte vitrificación y la interacción con los flujos más antiguos y más recientes impidieron una datación exacta. Necesitaron una semana para llevar todo el equipo a la cumbre, incluyendo el péndulo diseñado para medir pequeñas variaciones en la gravedad.[77]​. [74]​ Two cycles have been clearly identified, each lasting 1,500–2,000 years. After another day's climb, nine men reached the rim of Mokuʻāweoweo. [63]​, Los primeros antiguos hawaianos que llegaron en la isla de Hawái vivieron a lo largo de la costa, donde los alimentos y el agua eran abundantes. [61] A more recent example of the risks associated with slumps occurred in 1975, when the Hilina Slump suddenly lurched forward several meters, triggering a 7.2 Mw  earthquake and a 14 m (46 ft) tsunami that killed two campers at Halape. [84], The location of Mauna Loa has made it an important location for atmospheric monitoring by the Global Atmosphere Watch and other scientific observations. The cause of this cessation in activity is not known, and no known similar hiatus has been found at other Hawaiian volcanoes except for those currently in the post-shield stage. Although there was no loss of life, the village was permanently destroyed. Esta vez el botánico consultó al rey Kamehameha I y se enteró de que podía desplazarse en canoas hacia el sur y seguir el sendero ʻAinapo, cuya existencia desconocía previamente. [39]​[45]​[46]​ Una erupción muy corta en 1877, que solo duró un día, fue inusual en que se produjo bajo el agua, en la bahía de Kealakekua, a una milla de la costa; espectadores que se acercaron a la zona en barcos, observaron que el agua era inusualmente turbulento y que ocasionalmente emergieron bloques flotantes de lava endurecida. The bombing, conducted on December 27, was declared a success by Thomas A. Jaggar, director of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, and lava stopped flowing by January 2, 1936. Douglas collected biological samples on the way both up and down, and after a difficult and distressing descent began collating his samples; he planned to return to England, but instead several months later his body was discovered mysteriously crushed in a pit beside a dead wild boar[77], Isidor Löwenstern successfully climbed Mauna Loa in February 1839, only the third successful climb in 60 years. Ulawun • Significantly better prepared, Menzies, Lieutenant Joseph Baker and Midshipman George McKenzie of Discovery, and a servant (most likely Jonathan Ewins, listed on the ship's muster as "Botanist's L't") reached the summit, which Menzies estimated to be 4,156 m (13,635 ft) high with the aid of a barometer (consistent with a modern value of 4,169 m, 13,678 ft). With its summit standing roughly 17 km (56,000 feet) above its base and its flanks covering about half of the Island of Hawai‘i, Mauna Loa is the world’s largest volcano. [9] The prevailing view states that the hotspot has been largely stationary within the planet's mantle for much, if not all of the Cenozoic Era. [40], Ancient Hawaiians have been present on Hawaiʻi island for about 1,500 years, but they preserved almost no records on volcanic activity on the island, beyond a few fragmentary accounts dating to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. [45] Most eruptions are centered at either the summit or either of its two major rift zones; within the last two hundred years, 38 percent of eruptions occurred at the summit, 31 percent at the northeast rift zone, 25 percent at the southwest rift zone, and the remaining 6 percent from northwest vents. [76]​ En septiembre de 1840 la expedición llegó a Honolulu, donde la reparación de los barcos tardó más de lo esperado. The volcano is so massive the bottom of the volcano has sunk down 5 miles (8 km) beneath the ocean floor. Mauna Loa’s recent eruption was in 1984 and is certain to erupt again. On his second visit John Ledyard, a corporal of the Royal Marines aboard HMS Resolution, proposed and receiving approval for an expedition to summit Mauna Loa to learn "about that part of the island, particularly the peak, the tip of which is generally covered with snow, and had excited great curiosity." By this time, the naval officers and Hawaiians could not agree on terms to continue hiring porters, so sailors and marines were ordered from the ships. [77]​ El 24 de julio de 1974, el campamento fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en la página 74000295,[78]​ y es también un sitio histórico estatal con número de registro 10-52-5507. [86], The Yuan-Tseh Lee Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy (AMiBA) sits at an elevation of 11,155 feet (3,400 m). Mauna Loa, literally long mountain, is the most massive mountain in the world, and the world’s largest volcano.It’s actually difficult to locate on the island because it’s just so big that it looks more like a low hill. Sin embargo, el papel del bombardeo en terminar la erupción ha sido fuertemente cuestionado por los vulcanólogos. [18], Mauna Loa's summit is also the focal point for its two prominent rift zones, marked on the surface by well-preserved, relatively recent lava flows (easily seen in satellite imagery) and linearly arranged fracture lines intersected by cinder and splatter cones. The largest volcano on earth is Mauna Loa on Hawai'i Big Island. [31]​ La existencia de fallas profundas es una característica común de los volcanes de Hawái, una característica que ocasionó el deslizamiento gradual de gran parte de sus flancos y la formación de estructuras topográficas como la depresión de Hilina y las antiguas colinas de Ninole. Entre los volcanes de Hawái este comportamiento cíclico es exclusivo de Mauna Loa. E. C. Cannon & R. R. Bürgmann (26 de octubre de 2009). La ubicación y el posicionamiento de los senderos era práctico, conectando zonas de vida a las granjas y los puertos, con algunas secciones montañosas reservadas para la recolección, y la mayoría de los senderos marcadas suficientemente bien como para poder identificarlos después de que se termine su uso regular. [24]​ La zona de ruptura noreste toma la forma de una sucesión de conos de ceniza, el más prominente de los cuales es Puu Ulaula, «Colina Roja», con 60 m de altura. These are followed by two units of lava flows separated by an intervening ash layer known as the Pāhala ash layer: the older Kahuka basalt, sparsely exposed on the lower southwest rift, and the younger and far more widespread Kaʻu basalt, which appear more widely on the volcano. [2], Mauna Loa is the largest subaerial and second largest overall volcano in the world (behind Tamu Massif),[4][17] covering a land area of 5,271 km2 (2,035 sq mi) and spans a maximum width of 120 km (75 mi). Mauna Loa Volcano stands not quite as high as Mauna Kea but is much larger in volume. Mauna Loa, or 'Long Mountain' in Hawaiian, is located on the island of Hawaii. [2]​ Aunque la actividad de Mauna Loa ha sido eclipsada en los últimos años por la de su vecino Kilauea,[11]​ sigue siendo un volcán activo. [35] In addition to the summit and rift zones, Mauna Loa's northwestern flank has also been the source of three historical eruptions. La mayoría de estos relatos coinciden en que la deidad del volcán hawaiano, Pele, reside en el cráter Halemaʻumaʻu en el Kilauea; Sin embargo algunos mencionan que reside en Mokuaweoweo, la caldera del Mauna Lao, y en términos generales el mito asocia la deidad con toda la actividad volcánica en la isla. [7]​, Estudios del volcán mostraron que se produce un ciclo en el cual la actividad volcánica en la cumbre es dominante durante varios cientos de años, después del cual la actividad se traslada a las zonas de ruptura durante varios siglos, para luego trasladarse nuevamente a la cumbre. Like all Hawaiian volcanoes, Mauna Loa was created as the Pacific tectonic plate moved over the Hawaii hotspot in the Earth's underlying mantle. These models predict a 1.1 km (1 mi) wide magma chamber located at a depth of about 4.7 km (3 mi), 0.5 km (0 mi) below sea level, near the southeastern margin of Mokuʻāweoweo. David R. Sherrod, John M. Sinton, Sarah E. Watkins, & Kelly M. Brunt (2007). It also reaches 3100 feet below sea level. Wilkes navegó a Hilo en la isla de Hawái y decidió subir el Mauna Loa primero, ya que parecía más fácil que el Mauna Kea. Mauna Loa is said to be the largest volcano in the world. [14] At 1 million to 700,000 years of age,[2] Mauna Loa is the second youngest of the five volcanoes on the island, making it the third youngest volcano in the Hawaiian – Emperor seamount chain, a chain of shield volcanoes and seamounts extending from Hawaii to the Kuril–Kamchatka Trench in Russia. No encontraron una forma de bajar por las laderas empinadas de la caldera, y decidieron acampar en un lugar plano en el borde de la caldera, en las coordenadas 19°27′59″N 155°34′54″O / 19.46639, -155.58167. A great mushroom-shaped cloud soon rose two miles into the air, brightly illuminated by the red glare of the lava beneath. El Observatorio Solar de Mauna Loa (MLSO), situado a una altitud de 3400 msnm en la ladera norte de la montaña, desempeñó un papel destacado en las observaciones solares. [43]​ La erupción de 1984 casi llegó a la ciudad, pero se detuvo después de que se logró desviar el flujo lava. [8], To have reached its enormous size within its relatively short (geologically speaking) 600,000 to 1,000,000 years of life, Mauna Loa would logically have had to have grown extremely rapidly through its developmental history,[35] and extensive charcoal-based radiocarbon dating (perhaps the most extensive such prehistorical eruptive dating on Earth[36][37]) has amassed a record of almost two hundred reliably dated extant flows confirming this hypothesis. This is not always the case; the 1984 eruption of Mauna Loa started during an eruption at Kīlauea, but had no discernible effect on the Kīlauea eruption, and the ongoing inflation of Mauna Loa's summit, indicative of a future eruption, began the same day as new lava flows at Kīlauea's Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater. Mauna Loa • Mauna Loa also lacks its neighbor's summit permafrost region, although sporadic ice persists in places. El daño fue tan extenso que la parte frontal del daño probablemente cruzó la zona de ruptura del sudoeste. [43]​ La mayoría de las erupciones se centra ya sea en la cumbre o en una de las dos principales zonas de ruptura; dentro de los últimos doscientos años, el 38 % de las erupciones ocurrió en la cumbre, 31 % en la zona de ruptura noreste, 25 % en la zona de ruptura suroeste, y el 6 % restante se originó de los respiraderos del noroeste. [34]​[43]​, De las erupciones que se produjeron en 1887, 1892, 1896, 1899, 1903 (dos veces), 1907, 1914, 1916, 1919 y 1926,[39]​ tres (en 1887, 1919 y 1926) fueron parcialmente subareales. Después de solicitar la ayuda de Lorrin A. Thurston en 1915, logró persuadir al Ejército de Estados Unidos de construir una «ruta sencilla a la cumbre» para uso público y científico, un proyecto que se realizó en diciembre de ese año; desde entonces el observatorio ha mantenido una presencia en el volcán. [34]​ En 1859 se registró el más grande de los tres flujos históricos que se centraron en el flanco noroeste del Mauna Loa, produciendo un largo río de lava que alcanzó el mar en la costa oeste de la isla de Hawái, al norte de la bahía de Kiholo. El 31 de diciembre de 1840 iniciaron el montaje de la casa de péndulo prefabricada. [33], Mauna Loa is tall enough to have experienced glaciation during the last ice age, 25,000 to 15,000 years ago. Mientras tanto, los oficiales de la marina y los hawaianos no pudieron lograr un acuerdo sobre los términos para contratar porteros, por lo que se mandaron marineros e infantes de marina desde los barcos. Desde la creación del observatorio se mantuvieron estaciones sísmicas en Hawái, pero éstas se concentraron principalmente en el Kilauea, y la cobertura del Mauna Loa solo mejoró gradualmente durante el siglo XX. Con hachas y cinceles aplanaron la superficie de la roca para la base del péndulo. A few hundred feet below its neighbor Mauna Kea, this mountain has an entirely different character. El médico, Dr. Judd, hizo la recorrida entre la cumbre y «Recruitment Station» para atender a muchos que sufrían del mal de altura o habían desgastado sus zapatos en la roca áspera. [6] Lava eruptions from Mauna Loa are silica-poor and very fluid, and they tend to be non-explosive. [48]​ Menos notable fue una erupción en 1940 que se limitó a la cumbre, aunque duró más tiempo. Using an optical method, he estimated Mauna Kea was 193 feet (59 m) higher, while modern measurements indicate a difference of about 125 feet (38 m). This cyclical behavior is unique to Mauna Loa among the Hawaiian volcanoes. But the submarine part of the volcano descends an additional 5,000 m (16,400 ft) to the sea floor, which is depressed by Mauna Loa's enormous mass another 8,000 m (26,250 ft). Descripción: el volcán activo más grande del mundo, que abarca la mitad de la isla de Hawái Ubicación: 37 millas (59 km) al suroeste de Hilo, en el Parque Nacional de los Volcanes de Hawái No es ningún misterio por qué los primeros hawaianos le dieron a este gigante volcán protector el nombre de Maunaloa o «montaña larga». Las observaciones de la atmósfera se llevan a cabo en el Observatorio de Mauna Loa, y las del sol en el Observatorio solar de Mauna Loa, ambos situados cerca de la cumbre del volcán. Sin embargo, como los flujos de lava se extendieron rápidamente sobre el flanco del volcán y amenazaron el canal de ʻOlaʻa, la principal fuente de agua de Mountain View, la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos decidió lanzar sus propias bombas en la isla con la esperanza de desviar los flujos de lava; dieciséis bombas de 300 y 600 libras fueron lanzadas, pero no alcanzaron el resultado esperado. Originating from the volcano's southwestern rift zone, the eruption remains the largest rift event in the volcano's modern history, lasting 23 days, emitting 376 million cubic meters of lava, and reaching 24 km (15 mi) the ocean within 3 hours. La referencia utiliza el parámetro obsoleto, Rhodes, J.M. After soliciting help from Lorrin A. Thurston, in 1915 he was able to persuade the US Army to construct a "simple route to the summit" for public and scientific use, a project completed in December of that year; the Observatory has maintained a presence on the volcano ever since. [67] Flightless birds that had previously known no predators became a staple food source. However, the flow got no closer, as two natural levees further up its pathway consequently broke and diverted active flows.[53][54]. Estos modelos predicen la existencia de una cámara magmática de 1,1 km de ancho situada a una profundidad de unos 4,7 km —es decir 0,5 km debajo del nivel del mar— cerca de la margen sureste del Mokuʻaweoweo. Mauna Loa has not erupted since, and as of 2020, the volcano has remained quiet for over 35 years, its longest period of quiet in recorded history. The positioning of the trails were practical, connecting living areas to farms and ports and regions to resources, with a few upland sections reserved for gathering and most lines marked well enough to remain identifiable long after regular use has ended.
