Expanding gas drives a lava fountain. The highest foun in Hawai‘i are >500 m Technically, the base of the fountain is where the gas becomes 75% by volume, and this is usually 10 s to 100 of meters below the vent rim.
-Pu‘u ‘O‘o scoria cone (in the early 1990 s)
Scoria cones on the lower south flank of Mauna Kea
Typical high-fountaining pyroclasts: reticulite, scoria, Pele’s tears, and Pele’s hair ~2 cm
Crude layering in a typical high-fountaining deposit
Pele’s hair - produced in high fountains and skylight
-Blanket of scoria downwind from Pu‘u ‘O‘o
Crude bedding and large bombs in a quarried scoria c ~2 m
Cow dung bomb, Kilauea Iki (1959) pyroclastic depos
Large spindle bomb, East Maui Volcano, SW rift zone
low fountaining, spatter cones, and spatter rampart (from Volcanoes in the Sea)
Spatter is fluid when it lands ~20 cm

If you find footprints, do not do this ! They are fragile

Did all this happen in a few hundred years? A few years? ~1790 AD ~1700 AD Age dates by Don Swanson, USGS HVO Painting of Keoua’s warriors, killed by an explosive eruption. Diagram from Mc. Phie et al. (1990) ~1500 AD
