| Synopsis | Mauna Kea Volcano is a postshield-stage volcano that last erupted approximately 4,000 years ago (Wolfe and others, 1997 #6978). Whereas Kohala [2600] and Hualalai [2602] have volcanic lineaments defined by broad topographic ridges with volcanic cones and lava flows, volcanic lineaments on Mauna Kea are very poorly developed or may not exist at present. |
