have lost their primitive force. and most Of
their craters and lava streams have become
indistinct and are covered with dense vegeta-

western part ofthe archipelago became extinct
many centuries ago.
Mauna Loa means "the great mountain"
It rises by long and very gentle slopes to a
height Of about $4,000 feet The fact that its
slopes are so long and gentle shows that it's

The mountain rises 5000 feet above the zone
OF vegetation. Its summit Is crowned by q
group OF c%raters. specially designated by the
natives under tho name Of Mokuaveoveo. 1t
