What are facts about loihi?
Loihi is a submarine volcano located off the southeast coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. It is an active volcano that is currently undergoing a process of surface erosion and will eventually emerge from the ocean to become the next Hawaiian island in around 10,000-100,000 years. It is part of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain, which is a long chain of underwater mountains and volcanoes that stretches across the Pacific Ocean.

How the Hawaiian Islands originated?
An underwater volcano which currently is under and slighty off shore of the island of Hawai'i (the big island). The lava would breach the surface of the ocean, create land and after a while the 'island' would drift. the process would start again, create an island and it would drift. All of the Hawaiian islands were at one point in time, above that underwater volcano. If you look at a map, you will see that even beyond the main Hawaiian islands there is a looong chain of islands. They once originated above that same volcano and eventually after drifting, sank slightly. All of the Hawaiian islands are slowly sinking as they drift as well. It will take perhaps half a million years but the island known as Hawai'i will one day be much smaller. There will be other islands in place by then though, such as the island currently off the shore of Hawai'i island that is currently being made.

What would happen if an underwater volcano kept erupting again and again?
The underwater volcano would eventually emerge from the sea and become an island. For example, each of the islands in the Hawaiian Islands chain were formed from vocanoes, and the Big Island of Hawai'i is STILL erupting. Iceland was created the same way. Many South Pacific islands were originally undersea volcanoes which erupted, formed an island, and the island became ringed with coral reefs.
