Hawaii

Aloha. Answer: Mauna Loa is actually, by volume, the largest volcanoe in the world. Mauna Kea, though, is the tallest mountain in Hawai`i... that's different. The Hawaiian name "Mauna Loa" means "Long Mountain".

Hawaiian volcanoes are shield volcanoes because they are characterized by their broad, gently sloping shape resembling a warrior's shield. This is due to the low viscosity of the basaltic lava they erupt, allowing it to flow easily and travel long distances before solidifying. As a result, shield volcanoes tend to build up gradually over time with successive eruptions, creating their distinctive shape.

maybe because the middle of the pacific ocean is nearest the equator and the equator is the hottest place on earth so that's where a lot of volcanoes would be because all of the hawiian islands were caused by volcanoes.

this is what i think at least. i hope it helped you!

The Hawaiian Islands are important to geologists studying volcanic activity because they are formed from a hotspot in the Earth's mantle, where a plume of hot magma rises to the surface. This provides a unique opportunity to study how volcanic islands are formed and can offer insights into the processes driving volcanic activity. Additionally, the different stages of island formation in the Hawaiian chain provide a natural laboratory to study the evolution of volcanoes over time.

Dead may not be the perfect word for their status and extinct is preferred. There are many extinct volcanos in Hawaii including most of the northern volcanoes. That includes the Punchbowl (National Cemtery of the Pacific) so please feel free to honor our fallen hero's when you visit without fear of a Natural Disaster.

The active volcanoe's name is Kilauea. It has been actively spewing lava since 1983.

Mauna Kea is considered dormant, meaning it is not currently erupting but has the potential to become active in the future. It is not classified as a quiet volcano, as it has had previous eruptions in its geological history.

The tops of the tallest peaks in Hawaii receive snow every year. This is because it is considerably colder at these elevations since the pressure is greatly reduced. Parts of Hawaii at sea level, as most of the major cities are, have never recorded snow.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center canceled an alert for

Hawaii on Saturday, after waves caused erratic surges in the

sea but did not appear to cause significant property damage.

Gerard Fryer, a geophysicist at the center, told The

Associated Press that the state had "dodged a bullet" after a

major earthquake in Chile a half-day earlier had caused

tsunami warnings to be issued for most of the Pacific basin.

Hawaii does not utilize Daylight Savings Time, so the time difference depends on the time of year.

During the summer months (after you "Spring" forward), Hawaii is 3 hours behind California.

During the winter months (after you "Fall" back), Hawaii is 2 hours behind California.

~Hawaii's official time zone is UTC/GMT -10 hours.

Hawaii's state flower is the yellow hibiscus, specifically known as Hibiscus brackenridgei or Ma'o hau hele in Hawaiian.

Hawaii is closer to the equator than Florida. Hawaii is located around 20 degrees north of the equator, while Florida is located between 25 to 31 degrees north of the equator.

Yes. Snow falls on the high peaks during some of the winter months.

Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times since its first well-documented eruption in 1843. The volcano has a history of frequent but non-explosive eruptions characterized by effusive lava flows.

The mountains on Hawaii were formed through volcanic activity. As the Pacific tectonic plate moved over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle, magma rose to the surface and formed new land. Over time, repeated volcanic eruptions created the mountainous landscape we see today on the Hawaiian Islands.

Hawaii is made up of 137 islands in total, with eight main islands that are the most well-known and inhabited. The smaller islands are mostly uninhabited and located more to the northwest of the main chain.

Omg.no it not snow in hawaii.why dont you look @ the weather on hawaii,and that would be ur answer!!!duhhhh.lol.haha.who ever asked this question is crazy.lol.but i dont blame you.i wonder dat sometimez too.

The first recorded ascent of Mauna Kea by a Westerner was in 1823 by James Macrae, a Scottish botanist. However, it is important to note that Mauna Kea has been a sacred site for native Hawaiians long before Western contact.

Hilo is the nearest city. It is in Hawaii County on the island of Hawaii.

Trinidad and Tobago is the southernmost Caribbean island, lying at the farthest point south in the Caribbean region.

Quebec experiences four distinct seasons. Winters are cold and snowy, with temperatures often below freezing. Summers are warm and humid, with occasional heat waves. Spring and fall are characterized by mild temperatures and colorful foliage.

Go to micosukee in 177 ave and 8 St. It is 18 miles inland and the mega tsunami is expected to travel 16 miles inland. If not that same road goes much farther inland reaching the west coast of Florida.

New Brunswick, Canada is 6 hours ahead of the Hawaii.

millions of years due to the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle. Each island is a result of a volcanic eruption that builds up over time, creating a new landmass in the ocean.
