The term crony capitalism made a significant impact in the public arena as an explanation of the Asian financial crisis.
Hawaiian eruptions may occur along fissure vents, such as during the eruption of Mauna Loa Volcano in 1950, or at a central vent, such as during the 1959 eruption in KÄ«lauea Iki Crater, which created a lava fountain 580 meters (1,900 ft) high and formed a 38-meter cone named Pu Ê» u Pua Ê» i.ery little amounts of volcanic ash are produced. This type of eruption occurs most often at hotspot volcanoes such as KÄ«lauea and Iceland, though it can occur near subduction zones (e.g. Medicine Lake Volcano in California, United States) and rift zones.
About 90 percent of the volcano is covered with lava flows less than 1,100 years in age. Mauna Loa, the largest volcano on Earth, has erupted 33 times since 1843. The most recent eruption in 1984 lasted 22 days and produced lava flows which reached to within about 7.2 km (4.5 miles) of Hilo, the largest population center on the Island of Hawaiâi. Lava flows less than 4,000 years old cover about 90 percent of the volcano. HualÄlai, the third most active volcano on the Island of Hawaiâi, has erupted three times in the past 1,000 years and eight times in the past 1,500 years.
