The Hawaiian Island Chain

Mt. Pinatubo and Mt. St. Helens are two powerful volcanoes located in different economical settings. Mt. Pinatubo is located in an LEDC, this country is known as the Philippines. Mt. St. Helens is located in the United States of America. Volcanoes often cause worldwide issues and distress when they erupt causing large economic struggles and battles for people’s lives.

How would you like to live on the side of a volcano? On The Big Island of Hawaii, people can experience this during their vacation at KMC, a military camp located near the volcano Kilauea. There are currently three active volcanoes in the state of Hawaii, all of them being on or very close to the Big Island. Mauna Loa is the oldest of them, Kilauea is the most active, and Loihi is so young in comparison to the others that it hasn’t even breached the ocean’s surface. As of 2017, The Big Island is home to a population of 186,738 while 953,207 people live on the nearby island of Oahu. Honolulu is the capital of the whole state, and is located on Oahu. It contains significant features such as Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, and the North Shore. Born

After watching the film called ‘Act of War’, I again felt that countries’ do not stand for justice but only pursue their national interests. The reason why Hawaii was so desirable to the United States was the imperialistic characteristic that America had at that time. Even a small island or land is into the consideration of taking over. In detail, the Americans wanted to use the land as their military base and a strategic spot for expanding their imperialism to Asia. The fact that American continent was far away from Asian and European continent, made them realize that in order to empower their global power they need to first dominate the closest countries, even a small land that they consider it trivial. By taking over quickly, a lot of aspects of Hawaiian culture got distorted

There are many processes that helped Connecticut's surface and landscape get its shape. Plate tectonics, glaciation, and weathering/erosion are all major factors to this slow process.

A building pressure begins to make itself known. Anger swells. Is this what being unable to do something, no matter how hard you try, feels? The Native Hawaiians may have also felt like this when they had their sovereignty ripped away from them. Although they are doing okay now, since they are the native people of the islands of Hawaii, they should have some form of sovereignty because the treaties made before the overthrow recognize Hawaii as an independent nation, and when the United States broke their various treaties made with Hawaii, the Constitution was broken. However, some say that Hawaiians should not have any sovereignty because today, Hawaii is one of the fifty states, and the

Hawaii and Yellowstone can be compared and contrasted in many ways. Yellowstone and Hawaii are great places to have a vacation with your family. What people don't know is that there are standing on super volcanos that could erupt at anytime. Giant chambers of molten lava just 8 kilometers below your feet. One time your enjoying the nature, next nature takes its toll and magma rushing up from the ground. Killing everyone in its way.

The Earth’s crust has several moving pieces. They are composed of a variety of igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The tectonic plates are always colliding or pulling apart, creating mountains. Earthquakes and volcanoes occur at the edge of these tectonic plates because of the impact of the plate movements are greatest there. What would be interesting is what if plate tectonics never existed? What would be the social, economic, climatic impact of living without plate tectonics?

Hawaii and its inhabitants changed tremendously after the arrival of Captain Cook in 1778 during his third voyage into the Pacific. About 1,300 years earlier, the Polynesians first settled on the island of Hawaii. The rest of the Hawaiian islands- Kahoolawe, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau- were then settled into 300 years later at about 900 A.D. It was not until the Tahitians arrived that the islands were individually ruled by a high priest and the Hawaiians began to believe in gods and demigods. During this time, social class, the art of hula, and the sport of surfing were created as well as conflicts concerning land division between the ruling chieftains. Their diet consisted of mainly vegetables, poi, fish, and the 30 varieties

According to Dictionary.com, uniqueness means it’s “existing as the only one or as the sole example; single; solitary in type or characteristics, or having no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable.” Each place is unique in its own way. Some people compare countries alike but really there’s always one thing that distinguishes them from each other. One place on earth that is unique is the state of Hawai’i, from the highest peaks of the mountains to every little grain on the sandy seashores. What makes this place even more unique is that, in the state, there are eight more islands that have as its own individual way of being unique.

Hawaii Island is the biggest island in the Hawaiian chain with climatic differences over its 7 fundamental areas: Kona, Hilo, Kohala Coast, North Kohala, the Hamakua Coast, Puna and Kau.

The Hawaiian Islands are an incredible place to visit and explore. I have visited there twice now, and the sights are amazing. This assignment came up right after I got back from my last trip, and one thing that had my interest while I was there was the islands’ formations. Flying in the first time, I enjoyed being able to see the islands come into view after being over water for 6 hours. Doing snorkeling adventures, I visited Molokini Crater. While going to Oahu to visit Pearl Harbor I could look down at a few more islands as we flew. Just looking out my resort I could see Lanai and Molokai. During my visits, we would talk with the locals at the resort, they enjoy sharing the history they know. I was also able to travel up Haleakala, or “House of the Sun” (Durso), the volcano on east Maui. I was intrigued by all these islands. Therefore, my question is how were the Hawaiian Islands formed and where did all the unique plants life come from.

Aerial volcano lies at the convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate. It is believed to have been formed through the process of subduction. When the two plates converge, the denser and thinner oceanic plate gets bent, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental plate. The magma rises, becoming lava when it reaches the Earth’s surface. When the lava cools, it forms rock. Over time, after several eruptions in which magma explodes to the surface when pressure in the Earth is released, the rock builds up and Aerial volcano is formed. The area where this happens is called the subduction zone. The crust of the subducted oceanic plate melts and forms magma, a hot fluid.Environmental: Negative

The mitigation measure chosen is the prediction of volcanic eruptions by monitoring the activity of Aerial Volcano.
