Substantial cracks cutting across a lava delta are clear indication that the delta is subsiding as it grows across the unstable pile of interfingering lava flows and fragments built on the steep submarine slope. The larger cracks on this delta are 1-2 m (3-6 ft) wide.

USGS scientists Andrew Schwartz and Dan Hanes maneuver a current profiler for a study of surf-zone hydrodynamics at Ocean Beach, on the west side of San Francisco, California. Beach erosion has been a continuing problem in this area.

Helicopter overflight photo taken this morning - view toward the west directly above Kapoho Crater. The fissure 8 lava channel now bends sharply to the south on the western edge of the crater after being blocked and diverted yesterday.

Map as of 1:00 p.m. HST, July 11, 2018. Given the dynamic nature of Kīlauea's lower East Rift Zone eruption, with changing vent locations, fissures starting and stopping, and varying rates of lava effusion, map details shown here are accurate as of the date/time noted. Shaded purple areas indicate lava flows erupted in 1840, 1955, 1960, and 2014-2015.

USGS Debris-flow flume near Blue River, Oregon is used to conduct debris flows and landslide experiments. Flume is a reinforced concrete channel 95 m (310 ft long, 2 m (6.6 ft) wide, and 1.2 m (4 ft).

This 88 day eruption spawned lava flows which crossed all major roads to lower Puna. Coastal villages from Kalapana to Kapoho were isolated. Major roads closed by lava included Pahoa-Pohoiki; Pahoa-Kapoho; Pahoa-Opihikao; and Pahoa-Kalapana as well as the lower Puna coastal highway.

Due to the cataclysmic eruption of May 18, 1980, many of the locations annotated on this map are now either covered or no longer visible.

Eruptions of the Yellowstone volcanic system have included the two largest volcanic eruptions in North America in the past few million years; the third largest was at Long Valley in California and produced the Bishop ash bed. The biggest of the Yellowstone eruptions occurred 2.1 million years ago, depositing the Huckleberry Ridge ash bed.
