    As www.marinebio.net states, Wailea-Makena, Hawaii, East Maui County was caused by a hotspot or an extra hot plume of molten rock. This happens when heat rises as a thermal cloud from inside of the Earth. Heat and pressure at the bottom of the tectonic plate forces magma to form which then rises through cracks and erupts to form volcanoes. As volcanoes move away from a hotspot, they start to erode and become inactive. Maui is the third oldest volcano of the main Hawaiian islands and could still erupt one more time. Haleakalā or the East Maui Volcano is also a shield volcano or a broad, domed volcano with sloping sides. It forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui and has an alert level of “normal.” The last time Maui erupted was in the 17th century, but even so, the soil is still very fertile from it’s past eruptions. Thanks to this fertile soil, crops such as coffee, macadamia, papaya, tropical flowers, sugar and fresh pineapple grow here.…

    On September 11, 1992 at exactly 5:15 am, the sound of sirens filled the island of Kauai. This was the day that the category 4 hurricane Iniki hit Hawaii. Iniki was the most powerful storm, the deadliest, and by far the costliest storm ever to strike Hawaii. The death toll of six was remarkably small for such an intense hurricane, however the cost for damage repair was insanely high. Iniki caused roughly $3 billion in damages. More than 14,000 homes were affected, with 1,421 completely destroyed. While the 145 mph winds were the cause of most of the damages, storm surge and waves obliterated many structures along Kauai’s southern shore. The entire island of Kauai was blown away. Kauai, however, was not the only island that was affected by the…

    This is the island that gave the state its name. This island is the largest of them all in fact “Hawaii is twice as big as the other islands added together” (Neri p. 64). This island is home to several volcanoes, including the most active one in the entire world, Kilauea. Watching this volcano erupt is absolutely breathtaking, but it is extremely dangerous. It has completely engulfed over two hundred homes and covered several beaches. The only good effect the volcanic eruptions have to this island is the fact that it is growing. “Its lava flows have added almost 600 acres of new land to the island’s coast since 1983” (Neri p. 65). This island in my opinion would be the best island to visit due to the fact it is the most breath taking island because of its scenery. I have never been to Hawaii but from the pictures I have seen I’m sure it is absolutely…

    “The Aloha State” was annexed to the United States in 1959, but its history can be dated back centuries earlier. Approximately 1,500 years ago, Polynesians from the Marquesas Islands first set foot in Hawaii. Hawaiian culture, a mixture of many Polynesian traditions, flourished over the centuries. The arrival of Captain James Cook, Protestant missionaries, and European diseases in the late 18th and early 19th centuries stunted the growth and development of the native Hawaiian population. Western influence continued to grow and by 1893, American colonists, who controlled much of Hawaii's economy, overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom. Although many natives died in the hustle of their history, their culture lived on. When on vacationing in Hawaii, tourists can experience the vibrancy of the Hawaiian culture firsthand.…

    The islands were formed because there is a hot spot that is located in the Earth's mantle and underneath the southeastern part of Hawaii. Over the last seventy million years, this hot spot only marginally changed its location. The hot spot caused innumerable lava eruptions that built volcanoes under the sea. These volcanoes would ultimately grow upwards until they form islands. However, the volcanoes did not erupt infinitely because the seafloor under it was moving constantly, at a rate of 7 to 9 cm per year, across the hot spot in a northwestward direction. In time, every volcano there would be ripped away from the hot spot and transported northwestward. This is what happened to the active volcanoes on the Big Island, who would be replaced…
