Hawaii Volcano

Hawaii Volcano Ages Reply to ASK-AN-EARTH-SCIENTIST Subject: Ages of the Hawaiian volcanoes Could you tell me when the different Hawaiian islands were formed? ..and Subject: Active Hawaiian Volcanoes How many volcanoes are active at this present time in hawaii? Each of the Hawaiian Islands is generally older than the next whenone moves up the island chain from southeast (the Big Island) to northwest (Kure). In fact, the chain continues beyond Kure as a series of now-submerged former islands known as seamounts. It is important to remember,however, that the time over which various active volcanoes on the islandsremain active is long (hunders of thousands of years) so that significantoverlap in ages occur on neighboring islands. Take for instance Haleakala on Maui: Although itis a great distance away from the presently erupting Kilauea, Haleakalalast erupted only about 200 years ago. Currently there are 3 volcanoes that we would classify as active in Hawaii: Kilauea, actively erupting since 1983 Mauna Loa, which last erupted in 1984 and is building for a new eruption inthe next few years Loihi, which erupted in 1996 The Dormant volcanoes are: Hualalai, last eruption in 1801 Haleakala, last erupted in ~1790 Here is some additional general age information from the book Volcanoes in theSea , 2nd Ed. by Macdonald, Abbott and Peterson (1983).This book can be purchased at: www.uhpress.hawaii.edu .
