The rumbling has become more active in recent weeks, increasing from several earthquakes a day.
The world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa in Hawaii, which last erupted in 1984, began erupting again last year with dozens of small-magnitude earthquakes. Forbes wrote it.
Forecasters emphasize that the volcano is not exploding, but rather the unrest continues to rise. HVO currently has a yellow recommendation for Mauna Loa. When an explosion is imminent or occurring, it turns red.
“Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements show ongoing surface deformation associated with swelling of the magma chamber below the summit,” the latest bulletin said.
It was also noted that in the past, eruptions of Mauna Loa have resulted in the formation of a large amount of fast-moving lava, which can flow towards communities on the east and west sides of the island, including Hilo, where the campus of the University of Hawaii. is found.
Lava was near Hilo in the 1984 eruption, but in this case there was weeks of warning.
If an explosion occurs, local residents can check for updates from HVO and Hawaii County Civil Defense to stay safe.
