12 Shield-Building Stage Shield-building stage is divided into two phases:

13 Shield-Building Stage Shield-building stage is divided into two phases: Submarine shield-building

14 Shield-Building Stage Shield-building stage is divided into two phases: Submarine shield-building Subaerial shield-building

15 Submarine Shield-Building

20 Submarine Shield-Building Initially erupt alkalic pillow basalts

21 Submarine Shield-Building Initially erupt alkalic pillow basalts Alkalic basalts are richer in Na and K, compared to Ca

22 Submarine Shield-Building Initially erupt alkalic pillow basalts Alkalic basalts are richer in Na and K, compared to Ca Lo ihi has a caldera

23 Submarine Shield-Building Initially erupt alkalic pillow basalts Alkalic basalts are richer in Na and K, compared to Ca Lo ihi has a caldera Caldera can form during any phase of the shield-building stage

25 Submarine Shield-Building Lo ihi

26 Submarine Shield-Building

27 Submarine Shield-Building Under the weight of 5 km of water, the alkalic pillow basalts are very dense with no vesicle formation

28 Submarine Shield-Building Under the weight of 5 km of water, the alkalic pillow basalts are very dense with no vesicle formation In the latter part of submarine shield-building, the magma becomes tholeiitic

29 Submarine Shield-Building Under the weight of 5 km of water, the alkalic pillow basalts are very dense with no vesicle formation In the latter part of submarine shield-building, the magma becomes tholeiitic Tholeiitic basalt - most common type of basalt

30 Submarine Shield-Building Under the weight of 5 km of water, the alkalic pillow basalts are very dense with no vesicle formation In the latter part of submarine shield-building, the magma becomes tholeiitic Tholeiitic basalt - most common type of basalt Tholeiitic basalts are richer in Ca compared to Na and K

32 Submarine Shield-Building

33 Submarine Shield-Building Once the volcano reaches depths shallower than 2.5 km, small gas bubbles form

34 Submarine Shield-Building Once the volcano reaches depths shallower than 2.5 km, small gas bubbles form Within a few hundred meters of the surface, eruptions are explosive and result in the formation of hyaloclastitic material

35 Submarine Shield-Building Once the volcano reaches depths shallower than 2.5 km, small gas bubbles form Within a few hundred meters of the surface, eruptions are explosive and result in the formation of hyaloclastitic material Hyaloclastic material - loose, angular, glassy rubble

36 Submarine Shield-Building Once the volcano reaches depths shallower than 2.5 km, small gas bubbles form Within a few hundred meters of the surface, eruptions are explosive and result in the formation of hyaloclastitic material Hyaloclastic material - loose, angular, glassy rubble Landslides of the unconsolidated hyaloclastic material maintain steep submarine slopes

38 Subaerial Shield-Building

39 Subaerial Shield-Building Once the volcano protrudes above sea level, tholeiitic basalt flows form the subaerial portion of the shield volcano

40 Subaerial Shield-Building Once the volcano protrudes above sea level, tholeiitic basalt flows form the subaerial portion of the shield volcano However, the low viscosity lava commonly reaches the shoreline, producing hyaloclastites and maintaining steep subaerial slopes

41 Subaerial Shield-Building Once the volcano protrudes above sea level, tholeiitic basalt flows form the subaerial portion of the shield volcano However, the low viscosity lava commonly reaches the shoreline, producing hyaloclastites and maintaining steep subaerial slopes Caldera repeatedly collapses and refills

51 Subaerial Shield-Building Kilauea and Mauna Loa are subaerial shield-building volcanoes As a shield volcano drifts away from the center of the hot spot:

52 Subaerial Shield-Building Kilauea and Mauna Loa are subaerial shield-building volcanoes As a shield volcano drifts away from the center of the hot spot: the magma supply diminishes

53 Subaerial Shield-Building Kilauea and Mauna Loa are subaerial shield-building volcanoes As a shield volcano drifts away from the center of the hot spot: the magma supply diminishes eruptions become less frequent

54 Subaerial Shield-Building Kilauea and Mauna Loa are subaerial shield-building volcanoes As a shield volcano drifts away from the center of the hot spot: the magma supply diminishes eruptions become less frequent magma stays in magma chamber longer and differentiates

55 Subaerial Shield-Building Kilauea and Mauna Loa are subaerial shield-building volcanoes As a shield volcano drifts away from the center of the hot spot: the magma supply diminishes eruptions become less frequent magma stays in magma chamber longer and differentiates Differentiated lavas signal the end of the shield-building stage
