This stream highlight Philip Ong goes over the eruptions, intrusions, and dynamics of Kīlauea's Southwest Rift and the Koaʻe Fault Zone's, including their relation to the East Rift and its “Connector”. The upper east rift zone of Kilauea is connected by the Koa‘e fault zone, with cliffs and "scarps" near the Hilina Pali Road inside the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HVNP). The fault-cliffs slip during major earthquakes, such as magnitude 6.9 in the 2018 eruption. https://youtu.be/Si-8rYC18x0
