How are archipelagos formed?
Archipelagos are usually volcanic, forming along island arcs produced by subduction zones (or hot spots). They formed by tectonic activities when a tectonic plate moves over a hot- spot. the lava gets pushed and when there is enough, it rises to the surface of the water. as it cools it forms a pile (an island). the volcanic activity then stops but the plate carries on moving. so when it starts again, a new island is formed.... There are other processes involved in their construction: erosion, deposition and land elevation.

Why does Lihue have a smaller annual temperature range than Oakland?
Lihue has a smaller annual temperature range compared to Oakland because of the influece of land-water contrast. The island of Lihue is more within the equator belt than Oakland, but is affected heavily by the ocean waters that surround it. The transference of temperature is a constant due to the ocean current throughout the year. There is no large land mass nearby that can affect the climate of the island. Oakland thus get affected by the continental winds and the ocean current that bring cooler waters from the north. Even though both places are affected by the same ocean current, it is significantly higher on the coast due to the topographical features to the east and the cool waters brought down the coast.

Is island an adjective?
No, it is not. It is a noun for an actual island (land surrounded by water) or a figurative one. It is, however, used as a noun adjunct in terms such as island hopping or island paradise.

With eight contour lines that follow the upward elevations in increments of 10 feet.
How on a topographic map how would you show a island in the ocean with an elevation of 80 feet if the contour interval is 10 feet?
You would just add 10 every contour line you pass until you get to the number 80.

What is Rhode Island's lowest elevation?
Rhode Island's lowest elevation is sea level.
Must all topographic maps have a contour line that represents 0 meters of elevation Explain?
Not all topographic maps need a contour line that represents sea level because on some topographic maps you can analyze, that the contour line does not start on sea level. There are several reasons for this. One reason maybe that, the mountain or hill is mapped in the middle of an area and not surrounded by water. Zero meters of elevation represents sea level and if it includes 0 meters than that means that land is possibly an island. In other cases, there should be a contour line marked zero, but in some cases there are not.
How do contour lines determine which area of an island has the steepest slope?
The closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
