If there are convection currents in the Pacific region and if the upper parts of these cells move faster than the central parts, sources of lava within the slower moving cores could give rise to linear chains of progressively older volcanic piles such as the Hawaiian Islands. This view is ...
Units of StudyDescribes a teacher-developed lesson for high school students dealing with the origin of the Hawaiian Islands. The lesson, which consists of six steps and a homework assignment, is designed for a single class period of 45 minutes. (RM)doi:10.1080/00221348508979281...

MALE PROFESSOR: Sure...the volcanoes in the Hawaiian Islands, in the Pacific Ocean, are shield volcanoes;they've formed over a hot spot of magma.So while on Earth we have several types of volcanoes, on Venus, there is mostly the one type.Uh, Eric?
BACKGROUND: Putative phytogeographical links between America (especially North America) and the Hawaiian Islands have figured prominently in disagreement and debate about the origin of Pacific floras and the efficacy of long-distance (oversea) plant dispersal, given the obstacles to explaining such majo...
The latter is possible, but it is this possibility confirms precisely that melting of SOC alone cannot produce primitive OIB such as the Hawaiian picrite (Niu and O'Hara, 2003). Hence, in terms of straightforward petrology, SOC cannot be the source of OIB. 2.2. SOC is chemically too ...
These tide-generated internal waves have recently been observed along the chain of Hawaiian Islands, have heights of up to 300 meters, and contribute to increased turbulence and mixing, which strongly affect the tides. Other considerations A detailed analysis of all the variables that affect the ...
“Loa” volcanoes on Hawaiian islands from Oahu, to Maui and to Hawaiʻi) differ in major and trace element abundances and radiogenic isotopes (e.g., Frey and Rhodes, 1993; Fekiacova et al., 2007), and in this study there is no logically sound basis to treat these coeval volcanoes ...
Pineapples have indeed for a long time been a symbol of Hawaiʻi but they are not native to the Hawaiian islands. Pineapples can be traced back to their origin in South America, and are linked together with Hawaiʻi because of the large pineapple industry that was build on Hawaiʻi...
