Swarm of 30 tremors shake Hawaii’s Mount Kilauea volcano
ExtinctionProtocol/ A
swarm of 30 earthquakes rattled Hawaii’s Mount Kilauea volcano over a
48 period from Monday to Tuesday. The strongest of the tremors was a 3.3
magnitude earthquake which erupted on May 29, at a depth of 10 km. Most
of the tremors have been very shallow, with most registering at depths
of less than 8 km. Geologists have been warning for the last year that
Hawaii’s seemingly placid volcano is capable of very violent
large-scale outbursts so close monitoring of volcanic activity is
crucial.
