Wie häufig sind Erdbeben auf Hawaii-Inseln?

Hawaiian Islands hat ein hohes Maß an seismischer Aktivität. Basierend auf den Daten der letzten 25 Jahre sowie unserem Erdbebenarchiv mit Daten seit 1900 gibt es durchschnittlich etwa 13,000 Beben pro Jahr auf Hawaii-Inseln. Hawaiian Islands hatte mindestens 2 Erdbeben der Stärke 7 oder höher seit 1900, was darauf hindeutet, dass größere Erdbeben dieser Stärke zwar selten, aber dennoch vorkommen,- im Durchschnitt wahrscheinlich etwa alle 60 bis 65 Jahre.

Wie viele Erdbeben ereignen sich jedes Jahr auf Hawaii-Inseln?

Im Jahresschnitt gibt es auf Hawaii-Inseln ungefähr 517 Erdbeben der Stärke 3 oder höher (Mag 4+: 20.4 Beben pro Jahr, Mag 5+: 3 Beben pro Jahr).

2018 Jul 16: At least 23 people were injured Monday morning after a lava explosion sent rocks and other debris flying into the air onto a tour boat in waters off the coast of Kapoho, according to Hawaii County officials. A 'basketball-sized' lava bomb punctured the roof of the tour boat, which was carrying about 49 passengers while observing Kilauea's Kapoho ocean entry point, leaving a large hole and seriously injuring at least one woman... The lava explosion stems from ongoing eruptions from Kilauea that began May 3. Since then, more than 700 homes have been claimed and many communities rendered unrecognizable. And just a few days ago, lava from one of the most active fissures began forming a tiny island of lava off of Kapoho.

2018 Apr 28: New eruptions in Kilauea's east rift zone early Friday sent lava soaring more than 100 feet into the air, and Big Island fire officials say two structures have already been damaged from lava creeping through the Puna's Leilani Estates subdivision. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory also said that active volcanic vents were erupting on Makamae and Mohala streets. Civil Defense said all Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens subdivision residents are required to evacuate immediately. Hawaii County fire officials are also warning of extremely high levels of dangerous sulfur dioxide gas in the evacuation areas and are reiterating this message: Get out of the community if you haven't already and stay out until the threat has passed. At least a dozen small earthquakes rattled the region since midnight. (ref #11917) On Friday, four people were airlifted to safety and at least four homes were destroyed in lower Puna as activity from fissure 20 increased. That activity continued Saturday as new fissures and older ones continued their explosive lava flows, spitting out towering lava fountains that lit up the night sky and set off thunderous gas explosions that could be heard for miles around. On Friday evening, civil defense officials said a fast-moving lava flow had crossed Pohoiki Road and was threatening an isolated area with at least 40 homes. Since the eruptions started more than two weeks ago, some 22 fissures have opened in lower Puna, claiming at least 44 structures in the Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens subdivisions. Mandatory evacuations remain in place for the Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens subdivisions, home to about 2,000 people, but not everyone has heeded them and authorities haven't forced people to leave. (ref #12123) The most recent and 15th fissure opened up Wednesday afternoon, generating a flow that traveled at least 66 feet. Hours later, 10 homes on Alaili Road just outside of the subdivision were evacuated because of worsening cracks on the highway. Some 36 structures have been destroyed, including 27 homes. Lava has covered more than 117 acres of land. At least nine roads are now impassable. As many as 50 utility poles have been damaged by the lava, and hundreds have been without power since the eruptions started. (ref #12135) A stream of lava blocked a Hawaii highway on Sunday that serves as an escape route for coastal residents, while the first known serious injury was reported from fresh explosive eruptions from the Kilauea volcano. A homeowner on Noni Farms Road who was on a third-floor balcony had his leg shattered from his shin to his foot when hit by lava spatter, said Janet Snyder, a spokesperson for the Office of the Mayor, County of Hawaii. (ref #12147) Civil defense officials have previously said about 2,000 residents in and around Leilani Estates were displaced at the outset of the current eruption, which began on May 3. But the total number of evacuees was estimated to have risen to about 2,500 after authorities ushered residents from the nearby Kapoho area as a precaution on Wednesday, as a lava flow threatened to cut off a key access road. At least 75 homes most of them in Leilani Estates have been devoured by streams of red-hot molten rock creeping from about two dozen large volcanic vents, or fissures, that have opened in the ground since Kilauea rumbled back to life four weeks ago. Lava flows also have knocked out power and telephone lines in the region, disrupting communications. (ref #12151) The eruption that began May 3 has opened 24 fissures and covered more than 6,000 acres of land in Lower Puna with lava, destroying more than 700 homes in the Leilani Estates and Kapoho areas, and burying or isolating more than 1,600 acres of farms.

2018 Feb 1: Four hikers, a hiking guide leading three others, were hiking near the lava flow when it started raining which created a noxious steam cloud surrounding the group affecting their breathing and vision. The group called for help. The tour guide was overcome by the noxious steam cloud while the three visitors escaped to safe location. Chopper One flew in and found the three people safely away from the fumes then located the unresponsive tour guide in another location. The tour guide was airlifted to a medic unit and he was determined to be dead. Choppers One and Two were able to airlift the three other people who sustained minor injuries and they did not need further medical attention.

2014 Nov 10: In video provided by the County of Hawaii, lava flow from the Kilauea volcano burns a residential structure Monday, Nov. 10, 2014, in Pahoa, Hawaii. "The lava spread out and ignited the house before noon local time," said USGS spokeswoman Janet Baab in the CNN report. "There are no other homes in imminent danger. We are watching the flow closely and continue to monitor it." Kilauea has been on the active volcano list since 1983. (reference #11150) The slow-moving lava flow from Kilauea volcano is costing Hawaii County taxpayers about $14.5 million. (reference #11149) 22 October-28 October 2014. During 22-28 October HVO reported that Kilaueas 27 June NE-trending lava flow continued to be active. On 22 October a narrow lava flow (less than 50 m wide) that had overtaken the flow front during the previous few days moved into a small gully; the advancement rate was variable and sometimes as high as 300 m/day... At approximately 0350 on 25 October lava crossed Apaa Street and continued to advance towards Pahoa town. Throughout the morning the flow moved down the Pahoa cemetery driveway and then turned SE into adjoining pasture. At 0900 on 26 October the flow was an estimated 140 m wide. The next day it had narrowed to 100 m wide and was about 570 m from Pahoa Village Road. At about 0200 on 28 October the flow had reached the first occupied residential property. The leading edge of the flow was less than 50 m wide but increased to 150 m upslope. At 1730 the lava flow was 310 m in a straight-line distance from Pahoa Village Road and about 900 meters in a straight-line distance from Highway 130... According to news articles, Pahoa town, residence to 800-900 people, consists of small shops and homes. A school and a few roads were closed. Crews were building temporary access roads and trying to build berms to divert lava away from the highly traveled Highway 130. (reference #2432) Cited references #2432 Venzke, E., R.W. Wunderman, L.

2012 Feb 10: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has renewed a disaster declaration for Hawai'i Island due to volcanic emissions from Kilauea Volcano. The declaration is in response to a request from Governor Neil Abercrombie on December 27, 2011, citing continued agricultural production losses caused by vog. The federal declaration allows Hawai'i County agricultural producers the opportunity to apply for emergency loans due to damage caused by volcanic emissions. This type of disaster assistance has been provided for Hawai'i Island agricultural producers since 2008. "Many farmers and ranchers on Hawai'i Island continue to have a difficult time with the cumulative effects of vog on their crops and livestock operations," said Governor Abercrombie. "The federal disaster designation renews our access to emergency federal loans and other assistance programs in this ongoing situation." Agricultural damages reported in Hawai'i County include: damage to vegetable crops (especially leafy greens), some orchard crops, flowers and foliage (including those under greenhouses). Ranchers have experienced adverse impacts on range grasses and premature corrosion of fencing, gates and other metal infrastructure.

2009 Nov 30: Gases in the volcanic fog, or vog, from Kilauea volcano are killing crops and costing Big Island farmers millions of dollars, but help is on the way. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has declared Hawaii County a natural disaster area. The designation means farmers there can apply for low interest loans from the federal government. It is estimated that 2,000 to 2,500 metric tons of sulfur dioxide billows from Kilauea's Halemaumau Crater on any given day. The vog leaves leafy greens less than leafy.

1924 Mai 10: 1924, May 18. Photographer hit by falling stones dies that night from internal hemorrhage. (reference #2432) Acharya lists a tsunami associated with this eruption on May 30, 1924. Soloviev and Go (1975, A catalogue of tsunamis on the eastern shore of the Pacific Ocean) state that "A number of investigators (Iida et al., 1967; Pararas-Carayannis, 1969) correctly express doubt about the existence of a link between the tsunami and the volcanic eruption. Shepard (Shepard et al., 1950) considers the tsunami to be a flood of meteorological origin.] Cox and Morgan (1977, Local tsunamis and possible local tsunamis in Hawaii) also state "The evidence suggests, therefore, that the phenomena reported were not manifestations of a tsunami. The newspaper accounts are consistent with the alternative hypothesis that the phenomena represented an unusual swell from a major storm in the southern hemisphere."

1919 Sep 29: The Mauna Loa volcano eruption of September 28 poured lava into the sea at Alika on the Kona coast on September 30, generating unusual wave activity at times. There was not an accompanying earthquake nor could the velocity of the lava flow generate a tsunami. A possible explanation would be the sudden collapse of the 1.5-day accumulations of lava at or beyond the shoreline (Reference #236). The eruption had begun 26 September at the summit of Mauna Loa, but vents on the south rift opened about midnight of the 28th-29th. One of the lava flows reached the sea at Alika, on the Kona coast, at 04:30 Saturday, 30 September. The discharge of lava into the sea was considerable, and three days later the flow had built a delta into the sea (Reference #80). 1919, Septetmber-October. On September 26, the Mauna Loa volcano, which had been dormant since June 1916, revived. The eruption began at a height of 3300 m, that is, 600 m below the top of the volcano and was observed by Jagger from 18:00 on the 26th to 3:00 on the 27th. After two days of quiet, the eruption resumed at 2:00 on the 29th, but now at a height of 2300 m. A thick flow of lava issued from this lower crater. Less than 24 hours later, it filled up all irregularities of the relief, drove a road through the forest and reached the sea side approximately 28 km (15 miles) from the crater. For 10 days, the flow poured into the water, sometimes generating local tidal waves. Then the eruption began to subside, although volcanic activity was still noticeable on October 23 (Reference #415).

Anmerkung:

Unsere Liste von Vulkanausbrüchen orientiert sich eng an der Datenbank des Global Volcanism Project (GVP) des Smithsonian Instituts, der international anerkanntesten globalen Datenquelle für Vulkanausbrüche. Sie schließt aber auch bedeutende Eruptionsepisoden oder damit zusammenhängende Vulkanereignisse ein. Unter "Vulkanausbrüchen" versteht man in der Regel meist Serien einzelner Eruptionsepisoden, die zeitlich aufeinander folgen oder sich (bei mehreren beteiligten Ausbruchspunkten an einem Vulkan) auch überlappen können und unter Umständen viele Jahre, Jahrzehnte oder noch länger andauern können. So ist z.B. die aktuelle Tätigkeit des Stromboli als ein einziger Ausbruch verstanden, der seit 1934 anhält.

Hawaiianische Inseln FAQ

+Wann war der letzte Vulkanausbruch in Hawaiianische Inseln?

Der letzte Vulkanausbruch in Hawaiianische Inseln ereignete sich am Vulkan Kilauea volcano. Er begann im Jahr 2024 und dauert bis heute an (Stand June 2025).

+Wann war der erste historisch dokumentierte Vulkanausbruch in Hawaiianische Inseln?

Der erste historisch belegte Vulkanausbruch war 1750 am Vulkan Kilauea.

+Wie oft brechen Vulkane in Hawaiianische Inseln aus?

Die Vulkane in Hawaiianische Inseln brechen fast jedes Jahr aus. Seit dem frühesten historisch belegten Vulkanausbruch 1750in Hawaiianische Inseln, geschichtliche Quellen weisen auf nahezu ununterbrochene Vulkantätigkeit hin: Das Global Volcanism Project zählt seitdem 113 historisch belegte Ausbrüche, welche insgesamt 182 von 275 Jahren umfassen. Mit anderen Worten bricht in Hawaiianische Inseln ein Vulkan im Schnitt etwa alle 1.5 Jahre aus. Dieser Wert ist mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit unterschätzt, denn die Liste historischer Aufzeichnungen ist v.a. in der weiteren Vergangenheit höchstwahrscheinlich mehr oder weniger lückenhaft.

+Wie aktiv sind die Vulkane in Hawaiianische Inseln?

Hawaiianische Inseln ist vulkanisch gesehen äußerst aktiv: Seit 1900 sind mindestens 3 Vulkane in Hawaiianische Inseln aktiv gewesen. Fast jedes Jahr ist mindestens ein Vulkan in Hawaiianische Inseln aktiv gewesen. Der letzte Ausbruch des Vulkan Kilauea dauert noch heute an.

+Wann gab es den größten Vulkanausbruch in Hawaiianische Inseln?

Der größte Vulkanausbruch in Hawaiianische Inseln in geschichtlicher Zeit ereignete sich am Vulkan Kilauea im Jahr 1790. Er gilt als sub-plinianischer Ausbruch mit einer Stärke von 4 auf der VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index) Skala.
