    Covering over 85% of Hawaii, Mauna Loa meaning long mountain, is the earth's largest volcano. Located on the main island of Hawaii, Mauna Loa pushes 12 million cubic meters of lava into Hawaii each day. It rises over 4 km above sea level. But, below the sea, it drops another 5km to the sea floor which is then indented another 8km under the weight of this giant land form. This means the total height of this volcano is a whooping 17km high from the base of the volcano to the crest. It is amid the earth's most currently active volcanos with its most recent eruption in 1984 being both extremely beautiful and destructive. It has been documented erupting 33 times between 1843 and 1984 at 5-6 year intervals and scientists currently expect an eruption…

    Hawaii is home of many native animals which consist of mainly birds, insects, and marine animals that can only be found on the island due to its location and isolation from other continents. Some of these native animals are very unique and plays an important role into Hawaii’s ecosystem; however, their numbers are continuously decreasing because of different changes to the environment like the action of introducing non-native animals to Hawaii, the use of toxic materials in the environment, and also continuous mechanization and industrialization. A group of animal that makes up the native animal population in Hawaii that has been experiencing endangerment falls in the phylum of birds and one of the many species belonging to this phylum is 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…

    In 1916 James Wickersham, Alaska's non-voting delegate to Congress, introduced the first bill that proposed Alaska’s Statehood to Congress. Like many past attempts, the bill gathered virtually no support. In 1955, the territorial legislature passed legislation permitting a constitutional convention. Alaskan voters elected fifty-five delegates from across the territory. They met at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks in November 1955 to write a constitution for the proposed state. Alaskans voted approval of the constitution in April 1956. The new constitution was set to take effect when and if Congress granted statehood for Alaska. Efforts finally paid off in 1958 when Congress approved statehood for Alaska. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Alaska Statehood Bill into law on July 7, 1958. Alaskans accepted statehood as presented in the federal law the following month and elected their first state officials in November.…

    Hawaiian Island Geography

    • 1614 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The Hawaiian Islands formed through volcanic and tectonic activity. Tectonic plates shifted down into the Earth and went to magma level. This would allow for a volcano to pop through to the surface and create islands around themselves. The islands may have started as just one island, but over time more formed more (8). There are currently six Hawaiian Islands, Hawai’i, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, and Kauai (1). The Hawaiian Islands lie in the Central Pacific Ocean, 2,390 miles from California and 3,850 miles from Japan (7). Knowing the geography of the islands sets the stage for settlement of them. In two waves, the Polynesian people settled in Hawaii. Between 300 and 500 A.D., they began to arrive in Hawaii via canoes. The Polynesians brought…
