From their bottoms on the ocean floor to their peaks, the Hawaiian volcanoes are the tallest in the world - even taller than Mount Everest. That is the main difference.

Where are the dormant volcanoes in Hawaii?
I saw a television show on Hawaii recently. It explained that Hawaii is located atop two plates that sit over a hot spot on the ocean's floor. The plates are constantly drifting slowly to the northwest, but the hot spot remains constant. So roughly all the volcanoes to the north are dormant, and only the ones to the south are active. I remember them mentioning Diamond Head Volcano was inactive. It sits beside resort beaches. I don't know if it is in Hawaii National Park. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Head%2C_Hawaii
How have volcanoes affected the earth's atmosphere?
The ash from volcanoes has a big effect on both the air and land. Not only do volcanoes spew out ashes, volcanoes let out gases which can be very harmful. The gases that are let out, are the same as some of the ones we produce,like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulfur oxide. Thanks (14 yrs old)
How is Hawaii different from most other volcanoes?
Yellowstone is different from most other volcanoes in two ways. First, it can produce enormous eruptions that only a handful of volcanoes have produced in the past few million years. Second, it covers such a large area that it has not built up a mountain and is instead identified by an enormous depression called a caldera left behind by its last super eruption.
