A003) Shield Volcanoes - Kilauea, HI. Check and double click the
Problem 3 placemark, and then check and double click the Hawaiian Island
Landslides overlay (it may take a few seconds to load).
The Problem 3 placemark highlights where the fluid basaltic lava flows
have traveled from Kilauea's eruptive vents over a steep cliff on their way
