History. 1  A soldier carries an early example (1945) of mobile synchronous radio communication. 2  A basic chat box allows quick communication, but with too many people can be frustrating. 3  All those red flags are messages I've ignored, a pitfall of asynchronous communication.
Earth's Largest Volcano-Mauna Loa,Hawaii. The largest volcano in the world is Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii. There have been references to Yellowstone as the largest volcanic system in North America, but most, if not all, scientific organizations recognize Mauna Loa as the largest single volcano.
Its top lies about 6,500 feet (about 2,000 meters) below the ocean surface, while the base extends down to about 4 miles (6.4 kilometers) deep. Tamu Massif dwarfs the largest active volcano on Earth, Mauna Loa in Hawaii, which measures about 2,000 square miles (5,200 square kilometers). Made of basalt, Tamu Massif is the oldest and largest feature of an oceanic plateau called the Shatsky Rise in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
