Vertical offset along this reactivated fault on the south flank of Kilauea
was about 1.5 m. The offset is marked by the fresh brown soil directly in front
of the person. The total observed displacement along several similar faults of
the Hilina fault system was at least 2.5 m, which accounts for about two-thirds
of the maximum subsidence (3.5 m) along Kilauea's south coast.
