Mount Kilauea
BY GREGORY
In Hawaii there is a volcano named mount Kilauea. How can you live
next to a volcano? Surviving next to a volcano is hard but I can tell you
how.

Mount Kilauea is made from tectonic plates. Magma pushes the
tectonic plates one plate goes down making a trench. Magma
comes out of the trench the magma explode making a volcanic
arc.

People survive by food water and shelter. Water is found under
ground. The food are plants pineapple spongy white berries and
coconuts. The shelter is pohinahina is a mosquito repellent plant.
And houses .wood metal and bricks are materials to build the
shelters.

Mount Kilauea disasters are eruption landslides and earth quakes.
When the plates have a trench the volcano erupts . If the rain is to
strong and if there is no trees it will cause a landslide. If two plates
rub against each other an earth quake will happen.

As you can see living next to a volcano is very hard. There are earth quakes landsides
and eruptions. But there are lots of materials to survive. Good luck living next to a
volcano!
