The careful study of the Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes has led to the discovery that these volcanoes are in fact linked to one another.

How are the volcanoes related?

  • Scientists have concluded that they are linked.
  • This is via an underground melt that extends between the two.
  • What this means is that the activity of one volcano can directly influence the other by acting as a pressure release, or contributing to increasing pressure.
  • Both are hotspot volcanoes formed near the same period of time.
  • Scientists arrived at this conclusion by studying the composition of the lava and the behavior of each volcano.

Therefore, we can confirm that after many years of careful study of the volcanoes and the composition of their lava, scientists have come to the conclusion that the volcanoes are both hotspot volcanoes that formed close to one another and are linked to one another via an underground melt that extends between the two.
