Topic of the Month - Mt. Kilauea



This volcano is located in the Hawaii islands; the volcano is a shield volcano. It formed millions of years ago underwater. Mt. Kilauea has erupted so many times it rose up from the water.
Mt. Kilauea created some of Hawaii and its islands; this is because the volcano erupted so much and so often that little by little it has grown and grown and grown. Now it is a full island with its own name, but it will continue to grow as the lava is constantly flowing out and this means that little by little the lava falls into the sea. The lava has then risen through the water, cooled and got bigger and bigger.
The volcano is located near the pacific plate, lots of tourists love visiting this volcano. They love seeing the lava spew out!!! However this volcano could become very hazardous, if it carries on erupting it might destroy some of the islands!
