Line 1: − [[Image:Kipuka.jpg|thumb|300px|This kipuka formed during the Pu`u `O`o-Kupaianaha eruption on the east rift zone of Kilauea Volcano, Hawai`i.]]'''Kipuka''' is a [[Hawaii]]an term for an "island" of land completely surrounded by one or more younger [[lava]] flows. A kipuka forms when lava encircles a hill or a slight rise in the ground as it moves downslope or across relatively flat ground. Because they are surrounded by more recent flows, kipukas are often covered with mature vegetation.+ − − ==Sources== − [http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Products/Pglossary/kipuka.html USGS Photo Glossary] − − [[Category:Geology]]
