Question 4

4 (a) Study Fig. 4.1, which is a newspaper article describing natural hazards on the island of Hawaii. Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, has been constantly erupting for 35 years. Lava flows have covered more than 38 square kilometres. The eruption on the 5 May 2018 caused a series of earthquakes, which reached a magnitude of 6.9. Steam and lava came out of large cracks in the ground. The police force asked hundreds of residents to move to the two evacuation centres. A local resident who has lived there for 35 years said, ‘It’s just part of life here. I’ve got lava tunnels on my property which drain lava from the volcano.’ Fig. 4.1 (i) Using Fig. 4.1, identify what caused the earthquakes. .....................................................................................................................................
