Hawaii

Islands or lands formed by underwater volcanoes that erupt and dry to form these islands.

The Official State Flower is the Hawaiian hibiscus.

Kilauea is the best-known and most active of the Hawaiian volcanoes.

Hawaii has five counties: Hawaii County, Honolulu County, Kalawao County, Kauai County, and Maui County. Each county is made up of multiple islands, with the island of Hawaii being its own county, commonly known as the Big Island.

Mauna Loa's summit temperatures range from -5 to 12°C (23 to 54°F), while its upper slopes can reach up to 28°C (82°F). However, its lava can be much hotter, reaching temperatures of around 1,170°C (2,138°F) during eruptions.

The warm water around Hawaii is primarily due to the region's location within the Pacific Ocean, where ocean currents and solar radiation contribute to elevated sea surface temperatures. Additionally, Hawaii's tropical climate and proximity to the equator play a role in maintaining the warm ocean temperatures.

Daylight Saving Time (United States) began Sunday, March 11, 2012, 2:00am, and ends Sunday, November 4, 2012, 2:00am.Except Arizona and Hawaii. Move your clocks ahead 1 hour in spring and back 1 hour in fall ("Spring forward, fall back") .

There is A LOT to do in Honolulu. The tourist district, Waikiki is the premier destination for shopping, a day at the beach, and more. Another place you could go for ocean fun is the famous surfing town of Haleiwa. If you are looking for something other than white sand and blue oceans you might want to hike Diamond Head, visit the Pearl Harbor Historic Site, or even go to one of the nightclubs in downtown Honolulu. Whatever you're up for, there is lots and lots to do. Go to http://www.gohawaii.com

No, Hawaii is not in the top ten of mineral production in the United States. The state's mineral production is minimal compared to other states known for mining activities.

Hawaii is a state of the United States and does not have a Prime Minister. It is governed by a Governor. Formerly, Hawaii was an independent monarchy with a monarch as its head of state until it was overthrown in 1893.

Hawaii is home to two national parks: Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, which features two active volcanoes, and Haleakalā National Park on Maui, known for its volcanic landscapes and unique biodiversity.

Yes, the Hawaiian volcanoes get older as you move northwest along the island chain. The volcanoes are formed by the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate over a hotspot within the Earth's mantle, with the older volcanoes eroding and sinking beneath the ocean as new ones form in a continuous process.

There are eight main islands in Hawaii. Among the eight, Honolulu has the highest number in population, while Oahu is the capital of Hawaii. The 8 main islands of Hawaii are Hawaiʻi, Maui, Molokaʻi, Lanaʻi, Oʻahu, Niʻihau, Kahoʻolawe, Kauaʻi.

Yes, Hawaii has sand. The beaches in Hawaii are famous for their beautiful white, black, green, and red sand beaches, formed by volcanic activity and erosion over time.

While you are surfing in Hilo, look up at Mauna Kea. At almost 14,000 feet, it is the highest point in Hawaii, and the coldest- Temperatures of 12 degrees F have been recorded there. It snows enough to ski.

The Lo'ihi Seamount is 22 miles off the southeast coast of the Big Island and has been actively growing for 400,000 years and should become an island in between 10,000 and 100,000 years.

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/
