Kilauea - the Island Maker
Volcanoes are infamously destructive, but they can also be a constructive force. This film, from Twig World, looks at how Mt. Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, helped create the islands of Hawaii millions of years ago.
The key points made in the film are:
•Mount Kilauea in Hawaii is the world's most active volcano - having erupted 34 times since 1952.
•Mount Kilauea grew up out of the the ocean, creating a chain of islands in the process.
•Mount Kilauea is a shield volcano.
•Shield volcanoes are less explosive than cone-shaped volcanoes. They eject a steady stream of molten lava.
