On December 13th, the alert levels of both Kilauea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii were lowered, signaling a near simultaneous end of the eruptions for both volcanoes. This has implications for both volcanoes, as generally speaking one of the two volcanoes tends to be dominant, and when one is not erupting, the one produces more frequent eruptions. Additionally, each volcano can cause a change at their counterpart.
