Thank you for the explanation of cinder and spatter cones. also visibly seeing a magma dyke is really neat, especially considering it's role in Iceland currently.
Fascinating. I'm astounded at all the geologic information that can be drawn from studying the Earth's landmasses in their present state. The rocks hold secrets that are only divulged when enquiries are made . . . I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. Both of our large shield volcanoes, Maula Kea and Mauna Loa rise to almost 14,000 feet. I've read that Mauna Kea once rose to 16,000 feet, but that due to her weight and erosion she's settled to her present height. Millions of years from now likely our shield volcanoes will look like the stunning West Maui one . . .
I can highly recommend helicopter tours over these volcanoes. I have done them on both Hawaii and Oahu. Seeing the erupting volcanoes from above and flying through the deep canyons is breathtaking.
@@rayopeongo??? I just made a joke, *it's breathtaking but also breath taking,* meaning it will take your breath, because of the *fumes.* You go over an active volcan, the air over it will be *toxic,* and may hurt your lungs, so "breath taking" 😂😂😂
@ Sorry, I didn’t get the joke. However, the Hawaiian volcanoes aren’t the kind you usually need to worry about too much. And if things were that bad, the helicopter would avoid them.
Love the 1:30 infographic GH. How cool would it have been to be in HI 1.2mya when just about every island was active. P.S. still not sure I buy the concept of a ‘rejuvenation stage’ - I’m skeptical about the 1956 Kauai channel incident…lots of questions…
I wonder if island volcanos have landslides occur more often, or if it's just easier to detect the tsunamis they cause Mt Saint Helena experienced a landslide, but I can't recall any other land based volcanos with landslides
its easier to detect the tsunamis they cause, land based volcanoes especially ones that rarely get checked on can cause a landslide that would take a day or more to be recognized
Geologist living in Hawaii, and I appreciate all you do!

!
i love that so many of these still images of the marine eruption i remember from a beloved Hawaiian volcano geology tape i had on vhs as a kid
I had family living in Olowalu for a number of years. I love the West Maui mountains.
Thanks for the intresting info dude!
I hiked in Haleakala just past May!! Very beautiful it is
Haleakela is stunning. Otherworldly . . .
Aloha,
Could you do a video on Maui Nui? When Maui, Lanai, Kahoolawe, and Molokai were all one land mass.
Mahalo nui...Thank-you so much.
Aloha and thank you Hub 👍
Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!

Lot of work went into this one! Impressive as always!
finally some info I’ve been wanting to know about west Maui, I can barely find any source talking about it.
Thanks for the fascinating info ^^

And also breath taking... 😂😂😂

breathtaking - adjective - astonishing or awe-inspiring in quality, so as to take one's breath away.

That west Maui volcano you show at the beginning is actually the back of Waipio valley on the big island .
Pyroclastic flows are definitely something I would not normally associate with Hawaii volcanoes.
Love the content my friend.
Maui: "You're welcome!"
Every time I see a Hawaii update, I 'm waiting to see if the Hilina Slump has slumped more on its way to its final slump.
Mauna Kahālāwai is the name of the west mountain
Wow! This is amazing knowledge to learn! I dont pay enough attention to Hawaii haha.
A new island will form or just disappear 😅🌋

It's amazing how well the rocks preserve the birth, growth, and eventual "death" of this volcano, visible for all to see.
I love recognising landscapes from films 😎👍
It's real name is Mauna Kahalawai and personally my favorite of the two maui volcanoes
🙂♥️🌼💜✌️
Geology hub in the next video pls do broken top in Oregon
Pls

what the heck are feet?
I have a question, What is hawai'ite exactly?
It's a type of trachy-basalt with higher sodium content essentially if I understood it right. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiite
@@Arthion Oh ok, Thank you!
hot spot :P
Yessah 🤙🏼
