Miscellaneous Volcanic Facts

       A decent link  on the subject can be found at:  http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/LivingWith/VolcanicFacts/misc_volcanic_facts.html

            A more specific link on pit craters can be found at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_crater

            I still don't understand the pit crater explanation for the Halemaumau Crater in the Kilauea Volcano on the big island of Hawaii. Now I know it is there because I have been there, and seen it with my own eyes, including picking up Pele's tears (green glass nodules).
