Interesting comments – but just because an earthquake was so deep does not mean it is not magma related. It just means that magma is not close to the surface and that an eruption is not imminent at Mauna Kea. But of course it IS magma related because the Big Island is sitting on top of one of the earth’s “hot spots”. (i.e., KILAUEA has been erupting magma for quite some time dudes!). The fact is that the Big Island is going to lose it’s lower “flank” into the ocean one day. This may be the beginning of a long cycle of earthquakes which eventually cause part of the Big Island to slide into the ocean.

Pirate-Vampire just because there was a large earthquake under the Inactive volcano does not mean anything particularly. The Volcano is 9 km high roughly and the earthquake was located at a depth of 19 mi, this is far too deep to be directly magma related.

Under Mauna Kea? An inactive volcano? Well that’s bloody wonderful.
