EXPLAINER: Where will Hawaii’s biggest volcano erupt from?


              Residents of Pahala, Hawaii, a rural town of about 1,400 on the south side of the Big Island, listen a report about the recent activity on Mauna Loa at the local gymnasium on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022. The ground is shaking and swelling at Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world, indicating that it could erupt. Scientists say they don't expect that to happen right away but officials on the Big Island of Hawaii are telling residents to be prepared. (AP Photo/Megan Moseley)

The ground is shaking and swelling at Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world, indicating that it could erupt. Hawaii volcanoes like Mauna Loa tend not to have explosive eruptions like Mount St. Helens in Washington state.  That's because Hawaii's volcanoes have magma that's hotter, drier and more fluid, and doesn't trap as much gas, according to Hannah Dietterich, a research geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey's Alaska Volcano Observatory.
