Scientists have gained valuable insights into the eruption of Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, through a recent study. The research, published in Nature Communications, sheds light on the events leading up to the volcanic activity that occurred in late November 2022.
Geologists detected early warning signs approximately two months before the eruption, including increased earthquake activity and ground swelling near the volcano. These indicators suggested that magma was rising from lower levels of the Earth's crust to fill chambers beneath Mauna Loa.
