To go or not to go Hawaii??

I think the family should go to Hawaii .

Our reasons are :
·                     There are many interesting places to go to and find out more about the volcanoes in Hawaii.  -Atiqah ' Questioner :)

    ·                     Since there is only 3 active volcanoes , i think it is not that dangerous .   -Anisah ' Encourager :P

    ·                     There are many enjoyable places to go to ( such as tourist attractions) and at the same time , learn more about the volcanoes and Hawaii. -Dina ' Recorder :DD

    ·                     Hawaii has a lot of amazing features and tourist attractions.The family should not miss them out.They are also able to learn about the volcanoes there. Thus,it will be a nice and also the bravest thing to do as there are active and dormant volcanoes which may erupt at any time.

 Have a nice and enjoyable dayy (:

Mauna Loa volcano erupted in Hawaii

Kilauea Volcano Erupted in Hawaii

Kilauea Volcano Eruption. (: Link

Extinct

   Diamond Head

   A nearby eruption that took place at about the same time

as the Diamond Head eruption was the eruption that built

the Black Point lava shield. Since the type of eruptions that

 built Diamond Head tend to be mono genetic, geologists

don't believe Diamond Head will erupt again.

                           Dormant

                                               Mauna Kea
Mauna Kea is presently a dormant volcano, having last erupted about 4,500 years ago. However, Mauna Kea is likely to erupt again. Its quiescent periods between eruptions are long compared to those of the active volcanoes Hualalai (which erupts every few hundred years), Mauna Loa (which erupts every few years to few tens of years) and Kilauea (which erupts every few years). A swarm of earthquakes beneath Mauna Kea might signal that an eruption could occur within a short time, but such swarms do not always result in an eruption. Sensitive astronomical telescopes on top of Mauna Kea would, as a by product of their stargazing, detect minute ground tilts possibly foretelling a future eruption.

Active

                                                       Mauna Loa
Mauna Loa has probably been erupting for at least 700,000 years and may have emerged above sea level about 400,000 years ago, although the oldest-known dated rocks are not older than 200,000 years.

                                                     Kilauea
Kilauea is an active volcano located in the Hawaiian Islands. It is the youngest volcano that lies on the Island of Hawaii, USA, in the southeastern region. It is one of the five shield volcanoes, which form the Island of Hawaii. Mount Kilauea frequently pours out lava.

                                               Hualalai

Hualālai is estimated to have risen above sea level about 300,000 years ago. Despite maintaining a very low level of activity since its last eruption in 1801, Hualālai is still considered active, and is expected to erupt again some time within the next century. The relative unpreparedness of the residents in the area caused by the lull in activity.

How the volcanoes in Hawaii are formed .

The Hawaiian Islands are situated over a thin spot in the pacific oceans crust which allows magma from the earths center to seep out and overtime to rise above the sea level and form islands . This area is known as a hot spot .

Where Hawaii is located .

Hawaii is located in the central Pacific Ocean , where it comprises a group of eight major islands It is also surrounded by several volcanoes and that area is known as the 'Ring of Fire' .

Benefits of Volcanic Eruptions

     Even though these volcanic eruptions have killed thousands of people or destructed most of Earth’s nature, they also produce benefits. For example, many of the volcanic materials have important industrial and chemical uses.  A natural glass that comes from lava is pumice, it is widely used for grinding and polishing metals, stones, and other materials.  When lava dries and makes a rock form it is commonly used in building roads.  Volcanic ash that has been weathered greatly improves soil fertility.

     Volcanic material has a source of precious gems, Opal.   It also has a source for metals, gold, silver, molybdenum, copper, zinc, lead, and mercury.  When volcanoes erupt, the lava releases some healthy gases, including carbon dioxide and hydrogen.  When oxygen mixes with hydrogen, it creates water vapor and that begins the water cycle.

Worst 10 Volcanic Eruptions

                        Worst 10 volcanic eruptions 
1.Mt. Tambora, Indonesia
April 10 - 15, 1816
Death Toll: 92,000

The eruption of Tambora killed an estimated 92,000 people, including 10,000 from explosion and ash fall, and 82,000 from other related causes.

The concussion from the explosion was felt as far as a thousand miles away. Mt. Tambora, which was more than 13,000 feet tall before the explosion was reduced to 9,000 feet after ejecting more than 93 cubic miles of debris into the atmosphere.

The effects of the eruption were felt worldwide: 1816 became known as the “year without a summer” because of the volcanic ash in the atmosphere that lowered worldwide temperatures. It snowed in New England that June, and crop failures were common throughout Northern Europe and North America. As many as 100,000 additional deaths from starvation in these areas are thought to be traced to the eruption.
