Where Mauna Loa’s lava is coming from – and why Hawaii’s volcanoes are different from most

<https://theconversation.com/where-mauna-loas-lava-is-coming-from-and-why-hawaiis-volcanoes-are-different-from-most-195633>

"Hawaii’s Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano, began sending up
fountains of glowing rock and spilling lava from fissures as its first eruption
in nearly four decades began on Nov. 27, 2022.

Where does that molten rock come from?

We asked Gabi Laske, a geophysicist at the University of California-San Diego
who led one of the first projects to map the deep plumbing that feeds the
Hawaiian Islands’ volcanoes, to explain."
