US-HAWAII-VOLCANO
This November 13, 2014 image released by the US Geological Survey shows the inflation from the Kilauea volcano which can occur within the core of a pahoehoe flow, a tumulus, or domed hill, in Pahoa, Hawaii. Occasionally the pressure within the flow can exceed the strength of the pahoehoe crust, resulting in an outpouring of lava from the core of the tumulus. Lava burst from this tumulus, left side of photo along the skyline, approximately 35 yards downslope of the cemetery. A rocky block, presumably from the top of the tumulus, rests where the outpouring of lava began. Hawaii County Mayor Billy Kenoi declared a state of emergency in September after the lava advanced to within a mile (1.6 kilometers) of a residential area known as the Ka'ohe Homesteads. US President Barack Obama signed a major disaster declaration on November 3 to unlock federal resources to help local emergency protective measures.
