glinda/dakine - you should take a little more care with your own reading ability, as I posted two links to the same study so you get the whole picture plus a link to the paper itself:
https://www.livescience.com/24262-kilaue...inked.html
"The study suggests that Mauna Loa's and Kilauea's opposing pattern — when one is active, the other is quiet — occurs because eruptions at one volcano release pressure in the other.
The model suggests Mauna Loa, which produced its most recent blast in 1984, had accumulated enough magma for another eruption, but its pressure was relieved by Kilauea's heightened activity.
"The hypothesis coming out of this model is that if we hadn't seen this increased activity at Kilauea, then we would not have seen this pressure relief," Gonnermann said."
If you weren't so insulting and determined to use ad hominem arguments, I might have discussed this further.
