The Volcano's Shape

Alright so Kilauea towers at a height of 4,190 feet above sea level. That is about 748 of me in case you were wondering. Also Kilauea has a rift zone, summit, and flank zone. Their is also a caldera on Kilauea which is a sign of youthfulness. Plus Kilauea has three fisure vents ( EAST RIFT ZONE, GREAT CRACK, and SOUTHWEST RIFT ZONE. Kilauea is home to 15 pit craters and two former pit craters. Pretty crazy right?
