Let me ask you a question：What is the tallest mountain on Earth？Most school children will say the answer is Mount Qomolangma.In fact，there is something that is 304 meters taller than Mount Qomolangma.However，it is mainly underwater.It begins at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean，and rises more than 17 kilometers from the ocean floor.
Its name is Mauna Loa.In the Hawaiian language，Mauna Loa means "Long Mountain".Mauna Loa is more than half of the island of Hawaii.jye.ai largest of the Hawaii Islands.It is also the largest and most active volcano（火山）on Earth.It has produced liquid rock called lava（巖漿）more than thirty times since records were first kept in 1843.Today，Mauna Loa is quiet.It is not producing lava.However，scientists say it is only a matter of time before this happens once again.
Mauna Loa is not the only volcano on the island of Hawaii.There are four others.Three of them are no longer active.One of them is still active.It is named Kilauea.It has produced lava more than fifty times in the last one hundred years.Sometimes the lava moves slowly.At other times.It rushes out very quickly from the volcano.During these times.jye.ai moves almost as quickly as water moving down the side of a mountain.Sometimes Kilauea produces large amounts of lava that seems like rivers of fire.
When the lava from Kilauea reaches the ocean，its great heat produces great amounts of steam that rises into the air.The lava is so hot that it continues to burn underwater for some time.The lava from Kilauea continues to add land to the island as the volcanoes of Hawaii have always done.It is these volcanoes that formed the islands of Hawaii.Scientists say the volcanoes of the island of Hawaii show that the changing situation of Earth is，and will always be，out of humans' control.
