Mauna Loa last erupted in late 2022. It91裸聊视频檚 one of five volcanoes that make up the Big Island, which is the southernmost in the Hawaiian archipelago.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said the earthquake was caused by the weight of the Hawaiian Islands on the Earth91裸聊视频檚 surface 91裸聊视频� a type of earthquake that occurs occasionally in the islands, which have been built by successive volcanic eruptions over millions of years.

The observatory said the earthquake didn91裸聊视频檛 affect either Mauna Loa or neighboring Kilauea volcano, and that its intensity wouldn91裸聊视频檛 damage buildings or infrastructure.

The vast majority of earthquakes in Hawaii occur on and around the Big Island, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. On average, about once every 1.5 years, there is an earthquake in the state that is magnitude 5 or greater, the agency said.

The Big Island is mostly rural and hosts cattle ranches, coffee farms and resort hotels. But it is also home to a few small cities, including the county seat of Hilo, which has a population of roughly 45,000.

Some shaking could be felt in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, which is about 200 miles (322 kilometers) to the north. The earthquake came shortly after 10 a.m.
