The Hawaiian Island Chain

One way Hawaiians were impacted negatively was their cultural beliefs. One cultural belief that they believed in was that marriage between family was not allowed and was sinful. In Hawai’i, this type of marriage was common. Marriage between family kept the sacred bloodline pure and preserve the mana of the gods. In the story, “Cultural Conflict The Story Of Princess Nahi’ena’ena”, on page 3 it says, “She missed Kauikeaouli...

Rocks are heated underneath the crust then pushed out through a volcano or the oceanic plate. The rock substance that becomes the crust will deposit back underneath the crust. All of the process can be credited to the dynamic nature of Earth.

1. What is subduction and how did it plus faulting lead to the formation of Catalina’s island? 
 Blueschist, greenschist, and amphibolite rocks are typically found in this order from top to bottom. Amphibolite is found at more intense pressures and temperatures than schists are found due to these metamorphic rocks being made from sediments that get subducted back down into the mantle. The unique Catalina Schist was formed when these layers of rock in the Farallon plate became subducted underneath the North American plate and eventually becoming “stuck.”

The Connecticut river valley was also formed from many rifts and faults that had developed. A rift valley is a region of lowland that forms where tectonic plates move apart, which is how the river valley was formed. On the other hand, the plate tectonics also formed the Appalachian mountains. The Appalachian mountains were formed by convergent boundaries, which is when two plates collide. The

Conclusion Mount St Helens is a mountain that must be kept under constant surveillance as it is located close to large towns, the Volcano has the potential to wipe out a lot of wild life and urbanized area, and therefore it is crucial that we use all instruments available to measure any changes that may indicate volcanic activity. Questions 1) I ensured

How would you like to live on the side of a volcano? On The Big Island of Hawaii, people can experience this during their vacation at KMC, a military camp located near the volcano Kilauea. There are currently three active volcanoes in the state of Hawaii, all of them being on or very close to the Big Island. Mauna Loa is the oldest of them, Kilauea is the most active, and Loihi is so young in comparison to the others that it hasn’t even breached the ocean’s surface. As of 2017, The Big Island is home to a population of 186,738 while 953,207 people live on the nearby island of Oahu.

The Hawaiian Kingdom emerged from the arrival of Polynesians from other Pacific islands and later the unification of the islands by Kamehameha the Great. The Kingdom of Hawaii had a monarchy government system, where the rulers were of the same family and royal blood. King Kalakaua was the last king of Hawaii and Queen Lili’uokalani was the last ruler of Hawaii. While Queen Lili’uokalani was locked away from her throne, she sat under house-arrest in the hopes the next heir to the throne, Princess Ka’iulani would make a change for the better of Hawaii’s sovereignty. Into the present, the Hawaiian Monarchy has been overthrown, annexed and in control by the United States of America.

Yet Hawaii Island is the most youthful in the Hawaiian chain, a negligible 800,000 years of age. This is likewise home to Maunakea which is the tallest ocean mountain on the planet, with a summit that stands 13,796 feet above ocean level, and ascends more than 32,000 feet from its base on the sea floor, making it taller than Mt. Everest. Maunaloa is the most enormous mountain on the planet, covering a large portion of the island. In any case,

Have you ever wondered why Hawaii is all islands? Before the Hawaiian islands the pacific plate moved over the hotspot. The hotspot caused the Hawaiian islands. The islands move move northwest of the hotspot causes the volcanos become inactive. The hotspot causes active volcanos, but as they move away they become less active.

America: Oppressing the Native People of the Land? A building pressure begins to make itself known. Anger swells. Is this what being unable to do something, no matter how hard you try, feels? The Native Hawaiians may have also felt like this when they had their sovereignty ripped away from them.

On May 18th, 1980, thirty-five years ago, Mt St. Helens erupted and changed the course of history. This towering Washington volcano is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. During the eruption the mountain spewed hot gases, rocks and, ash into the sky causing a mud flow down the mountain 's sides. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration," this was the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States".

After watching the film called ‘Act of War’, I again felt that countries’ do not stand for justice but only pursue their national interests. The reason why Hawaii was so desirable to the United States was the imperialistic characteristic that America had at that time. Even a small island or land is into the consideration of taking over. In detail, the Americans wanted to use the land as their military base and a strategic spot for expanding their imperialism to Asia. The fact that American continent was far away from Asian and European continent, made them realize that in order to empower their global power they need to first dominate the closest countries, even a small land that they consider it trivial.

The volcano is on the island of Luzon and erupted in 1991. The exact time that the eruption started was 1:42pm on June 15th 1991. The cause of this volcanic eruption is due to the subduction of the Manila plate, this is a destructive plate boundary. The subduction increases subterranean pressure which gets released through volcanoes, which in this case was Mt. Pinatubo. The eruption was violent and caused lahar, pyroclastic flow and a sulfuric ash cloud that reduced global temperatures by one degree Fahrenheit.

If the mantle comes up to the surface it, is kind of like a really bad volcano. That is what happened to the dinosaurs. If the mantle comes up to the surface
