Collapse of the flank of the big Hawaiian island happened toward the south and dropped the land into the sea! In some ways, this landslide event is similar to the collapse of a large bulge on the side of Mt. St. Helens. :-)In your homework, we described the chain of events leading to the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. Now we focus on a similar story for Kilauea via Kyle's talk. Which of the following events did NOT occur during BOTH the Mt. St. Helens and Kilauea eruptions?
a. A large magnitude earthquake
b. A large landslide-type collapse
c. A lateral volcanic blast
d. Emptying of magma from a buried magma chamber
