While the glaive has a lighter head and longer blade than a halberd, it has a shorter length blade than the Faussart. The Faussart could be used by both cavalry and infantry. It eventually evolved into the longsword. The weapon probably relates to the agricultural tool for grass cutting, the
Types of volcanic eruptions which this eruptive type is hallmark. Hawaiian eruptions are the calmest types of volcanic events, characterized by the effusive eruption of very fluid basalt-type lavas with low gaseous content. The volume of ejected material from Hawaiian eruptions is less than half of that found in other eruptive types. Steady production of small amounts of lava builds up the large, broad form of a shield volcano. Eruptions are not centralized at the main summit as with other volcanic types, and often occur at vents around the summit and from fissure vents radiating out of the center. Hawaiian eruptions often begin as
