Hawaii

Hawaii is located in the Pacific Ocean and is considered a part of the Polynesian region. It is the only U.S. state composed entirely of islands and is located in the central Pacific, southwest of the contiguous United States.

Volcanic islands form when volcanic activity initiates on the sea floor. Over many years the rock formed by successive eruptions builds up, eventually breaching the surface to form islands. This can occur in two geologic settings: hot spots and oceanic subduction zones. With a hot spot, extra hot mantle material wells up in a plume originating near Earth's core. Some of this melts beneath the crust and the resulting magma rises up through the crust, erupting to form volcanoes. This is how the Hawaiian Islands formed. In an oceanic subduction zone, two plates consisting of oceanic crust collide. One plate slides under the other an into the mantle. Seawater trapped in the rock and sediment seeps into the hot mantle rock, altering the chemistry and allowing it to melt into magma. This then rises through the crust to form volcanoes. Many of the Aleutian Islands formed by this proceeds. A similar process can occur with an oceanic plate subducting under a continental plate, forming volcanoes along continental margins.

Plate tectonics is responsible for the formation of Pacific islands. As plates move against each other, they generate friction which causes volcanic activity. Over time, the volcanic activity breaks the surface of the water and forms islands. This can take hundreds of thousands of years. The entire time, the plates are still shifting, causing this volcanic activity to create islands spreading out from the source. Hawaii is a perfect example of this activity.

Traditional native Hawaiian houses are made of materials such as wood, thatch, and lava rock. The thatched roofs are typically constructed using palm leaves or grasses, while the walls can be made from wood or lava rocks stacked together. These materials are chosen for their abundance in the Hawaiian environment and effectiveness in providing protection from the elements.

4 active volcanoes on earth include Kilauea on the big island of Hawaii, Anak Krakatau between Java and Sumatra in Indonesia, Mount Nyiragongo in the Deomcratic Republic of the Congo, and Mount Pinatubo on the Island of Luzon in the Philippines.

The state gem of Hawaii is black coral. It is found in deep ocean waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands and is protected due to its slow growth and vulnerability to overharvesting.

Unable to give a proper answer to your question, and here's why: When asking about the time in different places around the world Wiki can only answer if we know (1) the place of interest and (2) a reference point. Bad question that will not be answered: What time is it now in England? Good question: What time is it in England if it is 11 AM in Perth, Australia? Bad question: What is the current Central Time? Good question: What is the Central Time if it is 2 PM in San Francisco? Do you see the differences? It might make sense to YOU when asking but please note that it might be hours or days before someone looks at your question. In the example above for a bad question, do you see how someone answering it might be, well, a bit flippant and just say "8 PM", or "Evening", or even "Working time"? And that would not really help you out, now would it? check out this link: http://www.worldtimezone.com/

The five largest islands in Hawaii, from largest to smallest, are Hawaii (also known as the Big Island), Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and Molokai. Each island offers unique landscapes, attractions, and experiences for visitors to explore.

It is in the Pacific of the U.S. hope this answer help you😃😉😄😇😌😏😝😚😔😍😐😁😊😜😖😤:😁😁😁😁❕❕

Hawaii is an archipelago, which is a group of islands. It was formed through volcanic activity over millions of years, resulting in a variety of landforms such as mountains, beaches, and valleys.

The last eruption of Mauna Loa occurred in 1984. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and continues to be closely monitored for any signs of renewed activity.

Yes, a tsunami can hit Hawaii. Hawaii is just located right in the open Pacific Ocean. About 68% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's tsunamis occur there. Hawaii has been hit by many tsunamis in the past. Tsunamis occur most often along countries which border the Pacific "Rim of Fire", or "Ring of Fire'. One end of this region of high sesmic and volcanic activity begins at New Zealand, heading northwest to Indonesia (completely bypassing Australia) and then west to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, northeast along the Asian coastline, east to North America and then south along the western North American coastline. Roughly horse-shoe shaped, the Ring of Fire extends about 40,000km long, and tsunamis can be generated anywhere along this rim. Hawaii lies right within this path, as witnessed by the volcanic activity on the islands.

There are a number of reasons, two of them include the fetch and bathmetry.

If a wave has a long fetch that means it is likely to be larger, the fetch is, in simple terms, how far the wave as traveled from its propagation or source to say the coast where you see it break over the shore line. Say for example a wave breaks on the coast of Hawaii, Hawaii is many many miles from another landmass, that means that the wave has traveled in the ocean for many miles allowing it to grow in size which means it'll be bigger when it hits the shore line; this is helped by the strength and direction of the wind too.

Another factor is bathymetry or simply what the surface of the ground is like under the water, as the surface of ground under the water slopes upwards to the shore line when the wave comes towards the land it rubs on the ground and this friction causes the front of the wave to slow down, because it rubs on the ground first, and the back part of the wave catches up with the front and tries to over take it, causing the wave to get taller, the steeper the ground the more quickly the front part of the wave will slow down and the back part will catch up making the wave get taller more quickly. Bathymetry can also funnel the waves in different ways into different shaped bays and coves etc which can slow them down or focus the energy into a more confined space which could make them higher.

Hawaii is made up of 137 islands, although the main eight are the most popular for visitors and residents. The islands were formed through volcanic activity millions of years ago, and each island offers unique landscapes and attractions for visitors to enjoy.

a long time ago at the foot of the mountain it was all cabbage farms. At the time cabbage was sold for 10 cents a piece or a dime a head when people wanted cabbage they would say let’s go to dime a head

Three volcanoes: Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai (without submarine volcanoes).

Mauna Loa is the biggest or largest volcano on earth in terms of volume and area but it not the tallest because it is 120 feet shorter then its neighbor Mauna Kea which reaches 13,803 feet above sea level and if measured from its base on the sea floor it has an elevation of 30,000 feet.

Hawaii is known for having around 750 miles of stunning coastline, which translates to hundreds of beaches throughout the islands. The exact number of beaches can vary depending on the source and criteria used to define a beach.

States that are farther south really don't need daylight savings time. There is not that much variation between the length of the day and night in Hawaii and Arizona.
