Hawaii

Actually, it's due to http://wiki.answers.com/Why_does_Hawaii_not_have_daylight_saving_time#location. First, Hawaii is so far south (i.e., close to the equator) that there's little change in the time between sunset and sunrise throughout the year, there's not much more daylight in June than there is in December. Also, Hawaii is close to the western boundary of its timezone, which means everything already happens later by default, both sunrise and sunset. Keeping this in mind, even in June the sun rises rather late, and if there were DST in Hawaii the sun would rise just before 7 AM, which is pretty late. Thus the gain in evening sunlight is cancelled for many residents by a loss in morning sunlight, hence Hawaii decides no daylight saving time.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center estimated first arrival around 7 1/2 hours after the quake, or around 3:15am HST.

The tsunami that hit Hawaii on March 11, 2011, generated waves up to 6.9 feet high. The size of tsunamis can vary depending on factors like the intensity of the earthquake that triggers them and the local geography.

Although large tsunami waves from Japan's earthquake hit Hawaii with some force, there are no reported fatalities as a result.

There was one reported death in California, from an observer being swept out to sea by the tsunami wave.

The tsunami first reached kauai at 3:27 Hawaii time on march 11 , 2011

The US, Spain, and Portugal are all centered on the same latutudes as Japan.

The 4 main islands stretch from 30 to 45° north latitude, which would include the US; Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Monaco, Italy, Greece, and the Balkans; Morocco and Tunisia; Israel, Syria, and Jordan; Bulgaria, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgystan; much of China; and North and South Korea.

I think there are several factors in determining it, like, where the epi center of the earthquake originated, and how deep the earthquake was, also I think there are some kind of bouys in the ocean that can measure stuff.

Hawai'i was formed from volcanoes. The shape of the islands (volcanic mountains) affects the weather. Volcanic activity causes eartquakes, eruptions on the Big Island cause it to continue to grow, cause fires, close roads. Gasses from the volcanoes can cause vog (volcanic smog) and volcanoes have produced fertile soil in Hawai'i.

The islands of Hawaii have been formed from lava flowing up from the seafloor in the central Pacific. This "hotspot" has stayed in the same place as the ocean floor slowly moved NW due to crustal spreading. As each island moved away from the hotspot, it lost the supply of new lava from below. Only the volcanoes of the "big island" (Hawaii) and a smaller underwater seamount (Loihi) are currently spewing new lava. Eventually the big island's volcanoes will also stop as it moves off the hotspot after a few thousand years.

Hawaii and Iceland are both volcanic islands located in the middle of the ocean. They also experience unique geological formations and geothermal activity due to their volcanic origins. Additionally, both destinations are known for their stunning natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities.

The Hawaiian islands were formed by shield volcanoes, which are characterized by long, gentle sloping sides formed by low-viscosity lava flows. These volcanoes are created by the movement of the Pacific Plate over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle, resulting in a chain of volcanic islands.

King Kamehameha I, also known as Kamehameha the Great, is the Hawaiian ruler who united the Hawaiian Islands in 1810 after years of conflict and warfare. He established the Kingdom of Hawaii and is celebrated for bringing peace and stability to the islands.

Most of the Hawaiian islands were formed by volcanic activity, but not all islands currently have active volcanoes. The Big Island of Hawaii is home to active volcanoes, while some of the other islands, such as Kauai and Oahu, have dormant or extinct volcanoes.

The area of Kauai is approximately 1,430 square kilometers.

Magma flows from a volcanic eruption can destroy agriculture in Hawaii by covering farmland with layers of hardened lava, toxic gases, and volcanic ash. This can smother crops, create acidic soil conditions, and contaminate water sources, making it challenging for crops to grow. Agricultural infrastructure can also be damaged by lava flows and volcanic debris.

Hawaii is a volcanic island, formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago. It is part of a volcanic island chain in the Pacific Ocean.

The Big Island of Hawaii is in the Hawaii-Aleutian Time Zone, which is 2 hours behind Pacific Standard Time (PST) and 5 hours behind Eastern Standard Time (EST) in the United States.

No, it is not the main island. The main island is O'ahu, probably because Honolulu is not only the capital of Hawaii, but it's on O'ah. But Hawaii and Maui are considered Maine islands as well. The flight to the state to Hawaii, if you live in a continent and not in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (besides Japan), it may be a very long flight and Hawaii is very expensive. The shortest flight available to the state of Hawaii if you do not live in the Pacific Ocean may be 5 in a half hours! But it can be eight hours, eleven hours, and so on.... It is about 2,500 miles away from California. Hawaii is also located near the equator, a very hot line. And it lies in the middle of the North Pacific. Hawaii is a beautiful place to visit and it is nice to take a vacation there, but not when there are Tsunamis and hurricanes. Thus, Hawaii is a nice place but can be dangerous!

No, Hawaii isn't in the Mountain Time Zone. Hawaii is in the Hawaii-Aleutian Time Zone. Hawaii usually is two hours behind Mountain Standard Time. But Hawaii doesn't observe daylight saving time [DST] when clocks are set one hour ahead from spring to fall. During DST Hawaii is three hours behind Moutain Standard Time.

Hawaii is known for having relatively consistent weather throughout the year, with warm temperatures and a mix of sun and rain. However, the state can experience extreme weather events like hurricanes, heavy rainfall causing flooding, and occasional high surf advisories.

Yes, the Hawaiian Islands are a result of a convergent plate boundary. The Pacific Plate is moving northwestward and is being subducted beneath the North American Plate, which has created the volcanic activity that formed the islands.

In Hawaii, a second level consumer would typically refer to animals that primarily feed on herbivores or first level consumers. Examples include small carnivorous fish, octopuses, and reef sharks. These animals help regulate the population of herbivores and contribute to the overall balance of the marine ecosystem in Hawaii.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was established on August 1, 1916.

Mainly fine with cloudy patches, light winds and occasional showers with a high of 27 and low of 22.
