No significant changes have been observed along the volcano’s rift zones. Scientists on Monday observed small "ooze-outs" of lava flowing sluggishly in the lava lake.

MAUNA LOA VOLCANO ERUPTION: WHAT TO KNOW

The inside of the summit crater of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano is seen on Jan. 5, 2023. The Kilauea volcano likely stopped erupting due to a large deflationary tilt drop in which the ground deflates.

Officials said activity diminished in the afternoon, and by Tuesday, there was no active lava in the crater.

USGS said the reduction in activity was related to the "larger deflationary tilt drop" that began Feb. 17, a common process at Kilauea in which the ground deflates for hours or days. The drop in pressure can then cause eruptions to diminish.

Kilauea began erupting again Jan. 5 after scientists detected a glow within Halemaumau Crater. The latest eruption started after a nearly monthlong pause in activity.

Kilauea is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. A 2018 Kilauea eruption destroyed more than 700 homes.

Before the major 2018 eruption, Kilauea had been erupting since 1983, and streams of lava occasionally covered farms and homes. During that time, the lava sometimes reached the ocean, causing dramatic interactions with the water.
