The volcano rises 4,190 feet (1,227 meters) above sea level and is about 14 percent of the land area of the Big Island.The summit caldera contains a lava lake known as Halema`uma`u that is said to be the home of the Hawaiian volcano goddess, Pele.o the casual observer, Kilauea appears to be part of the larger volcano Mauna Loa, but geological data indicates that it is a separate volcano with its own vent and conduit system.
Type: Shield volcano with a cinder cone. Hawaii's famous Kilauea volcano emerged from the sea more than 50,000 years ago, and it has been active ever since. Kilauea, formed from an intraplate hot spot, is the most studied volcano in the world.Composed mostly of lava flows, Kilauea also has some deposits from explosive eruptions. It has erupted from three main areas: its summit and two rift zones. Most of Kilauea's eruptions are relatively gentle lava flows.nfrequentlyevery few decades or centuriespowerful eruptions send volcanic debris across the area. Kilauea's constant lava eruptions have built up the volcano and given it a shieldlike form that is still growing. Currently the shield is about 50 miles (80 kilometers) long and 15 miles (24 kilometers) wide.
