Hawaiian Islands,which are entirely

Hotspots [This Dynamic Earth, USGS] The vast majority of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur near plateboundaries, but there are some exceptions. For example, the Hawaiian Islands,which are entirely of volcanic origin, have formed in the middle of thePacific Ocean more than 3,200 km from the nearest plate boundary. How dothe Hawaiian Islands and other volcanoes that form in the interior of platesfit into the plate-tectonics picture? Space Shuttle photograph of the Hawaiian Islands, the southernmostpart of the long volcanic trail of the "Hawaiian hotspot" (seetext). Kauai is in the lower right corner (edge) and the Big Island of Hawaiiin the upper left corner. Note the curvature of the Earth (top edge). (Photographcourtesy of NASA.) In 1963, J. Tuzo Wilson, the Canadian geophysicist who discovered transformfaults, came up with an ingenious idea that became known as the "hotspot"theory. Wilson noted that in certain locations around the world, such asHawaii, volcanism has been active for very long periods of time. This couldonly happen, he reasoned, if relatively small, long-lasting, and exceptionallyhot regions -- called hotspots -- existed below the plates that wouldprovide localized sources of high heat energy (thermal plumes) tosustain volcanism. Specifically, Wilson hypothesized that the distinctivelinear shape of the Hawaiian Island-Emperor Seamounts chain resulted fromthe Pacific Plate moving over a deep, stationary hotspot in the mantle,located beneath the present-day position of the Island of Hawaii. Heat fromthis hotspot produced a persistent source of magma by partly melting theoverriding Pacific Plate. The magma, which is lighter than the surroundingsolid rock, then rises through the mantle and crust to erupt onto the seafloor,forming an active seamount. Over time, countless eruptions cause the seamountto grow until it finally emerges above sea level to form an island volcano.Wilson suggested that continuing plate movement eventually carries the islandbeyond the hotspot, cutting it off from the magma source, and volcanismceases. As one island volcano becomes extinct, another develops over thehotspot, and the cycle is repeated. This process of volcano growth and death,over many millions of years, has left a long trail of volcanic islands andseamounts across the Pacific Ocean floor. According to Wilson's hotspot theory, the volcanoes of the Hawaiian chainshould get progressively older and become more eroded the farther they travelbeyond the hotspot. The oldest volcanic rocks on Kauai, the northwesternmostinhabited Hawaiian island, are about 5.5 million years old and are deeplyeroded. By comparison, on the "Big Island" of Hawaii -- southeasternmostin the chain and presumably still positioned over the hotspot -- the oldestexposed rocks are less than 0.7 million years old and new volcanic rockis continually being formed. Above: Artist's conception of the movement of the PacificPlate over the fixed Hawaiian "Hot Spot," illustrating the formationof the Hawaiian Ridge-Emperor Seamount Chain. (Modified from a drawing providedby Maurice Krafft, Centre de Volcanologie, France). Below: J. TuzoWilson's original diagram (slightly modified), published in 1963, to showhis proposed origin of the Hawaiian Islands. (Reproduced with permissionof the Canadian Journal of Physics .) The possibility that the Hawaiian Islands become younger to the southeastwas suspected by the ancient Hawaiians, long before any scientific studieswere done. During their voyages, sea-faring Hawaiians noticed the differencesin erosion, soil formation, and vegetation and recognized that the islandsto the northwest (Niihau and Kauai) were older than those to the southeast(Maui and Hawaii). This idea was handed down from generation to generationin the legends of Pele, the fiery Goddess of Volcanoes. Pele originallylived on Kauai. When her older sister Namakaokahai, the Goddess of the Sea,attacked her, Pele fled to the Island of Oahu. When she was forced by Namakaokahaito flee again, Pele moved southeast to Maui and finally to Hawaii, whereshe now lives in the Halemaumau Crater at the summit of Kilauea Volcano.The mythical flight of Pele from Kauai to Hawaii, which alludes to the eternalstruggle between the growth of volcanic islands from eruptions and theirlater erosion by ocean waves, is consistent with geologic evidence obtainedcenturies later that clearly shows the islands becoming younger from northwestto southeast. Prominentworld hotspots [54 k] Although Hawaii is perhaps the best known hotspot, others are thought toexist beneath the oceans and continents. More than a hundred hotspots beneaththe Earth's crust have been active during the past 10 million years. Mostof these are located under plate interiors (for example, the African Plate),but some occur near diverging plate boundaries. Some are concentrated nearthe mid-oceanic ridge system, such as beneath Iceland, the Azores, and theGalapagos Islands. A few hotspots are thought to exist below the North American Plate. Perhapsthe best known is the hotspot presumed to exist under the continental crustin the region of Yellowstone National Park in northwestern Wyoming. Hereare several calderas (large craters formed by the ground collapseaccompanying explosive volcanism) that were produced by three gigantic eruptionsduring the past two million years, the most recent of which occurred about600,000 years ago. Ash deposits from these powerful eruptions have beenmapped as far away as Iowa, Missouri, Texas, and even northern Mexico. Thethermal energy of the presumed Yellowstone hotspot fuels more than 10,000hot pools and springs, geysers (like Old Faithful), and bubbling mudpots (pools of boiling mud). A large body of magma, capped by a hydrothermalsystem (a zone of pressurized steam and hot water), still exists beneaththe caldera. Recent surveys demonstrate that parts of the Yellowstone regionrise and fall by as much as 1 cm each year, indicating the area is stillgeologically restless. However, these measurable ground movements, whichmost likely reflect hydrothermal pressure changes, do not necessarily signalrenewed volcanic activity in the area. Authors' Note: Since this booklet's publication in 1996, vigorous scientific debate has ensued regarding volcanism at "hotspots." New studies suggest that hotspots are neither deep phenomena nor "fixed" in position over geologic time, as assumed in the popular plume model. See http://www.mantleplumes.org/ ."

Do they have musubi? Previously had to go to LA for Hawaiian BBQ (Kahuna Grill is good but it's not the "Hawaiian style" as I know it!) Edited by - tinchef on 01/10/2006 12:47:59 PM Zachary Bon Vivant 628 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 12:25:44 PM You know what? I'm going to go there right now and get back to you. Zachary Bon Vivant 628 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 1:52:51 PM Yes, they do have Musubi. And I'm going to have to mull over my report. L&L is a chain, with about 100 links on the mainland. Remember what "the Insider" said about the reason for some local restaurant's success? The reason that places like Bouchon, Ca Dario, Luckys, Miro, and Opal have maintained that expected level of excellence to cost ratio is because they follow the key ingredients of fine dining. The perfect staff (I use the term loosely) excels in knowledge, attention to details, personality, patience and have the powers of assessment. The perfect management/ownership (again on the loose side) display trust, have strict training requirements, must be available to staff and customer alike and remain consistent. Managers/owners are like parents, coaches, and in their own way, gods. This is the "success formula" from the L&L website: The owners attribute their success to a decentralized system of ownership in which each restaurant is a separately incorporated profit center run by partners in the corporation or individual owners. Quite a difference. Like I said, I'll get back to you shortly. Tinchef Starting Member 25 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 2:14:54 PM The other difference is that the aforementioned local places are "fine" dining establishments. L&L is basically "fast" food! Zachary Bon Vivant 628 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 2:28:24 PM quote: The other difference is that the aforementioned local places are "fine" dining establishments. L&L is basically "fast" food! Correction--"a separately incorporated profit center." I knew nothing about L&L when I drove out there. I secretly hoped that it would be a real bbq. It isn't. But it *is* good, at least what I had (combo #1 bbq mix plate). No underground pit, no whole pig, but it wasn't bad at all. More of a bbq sauce place than a bbq, since I didn't see anything resembling a bbq. Longer report to follow. gki Advanced Diner USA 75 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 3:25:34 PM L&L Hawaiian Barbecue The Plaza 7127 Hollister Ave., #21 Goleta, CA 93117 Phone: (805) 968-8880 Fax: (805) 968-8882 http://www.hawaiianbarbecue.com The Lau-Lau Plate is much more interesting than Musubi. Zachary Bon Vivant 628 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 3:49:16 PM While I'm mulling things over, I thought you might enjoy reading what a visitor to Las Conchas (on Haley) wrote defending the restaurant on another website. To some folks, the glass is always half full... And the transvestites dont even hangout infront of or inside the restruant anymore, and they are not aloud to sell themselves at the restruant or bother the custamers in any kind of way. But they are aloud to go in and eat there if they wanted to! Even so, I think I'll pass. Gary Chef 274 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 3:49:36 PM The Plaza, formerly the University Plaza. Don't bother.
