    Volcanoes are a part of our ever changing geology. Sometimes people build in areas at risk and then suffer the consequences.

    Hawaii Mauna Loa erupts. Now largest active volcano in world. Its lava flows towards Pacific, and does not explode due to low silica content. Threat of downwind gas and ash are additional factors. Hawaii continues to grow over geological time.
