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 . Island Volcano Age (million years) Hawaii Mauna Loa 0.1-0.5 Kohala 0.06-0.45 Maui Haleakala 0.41-0.86 West Maui 1.2-1.6 Kahoolawe Kahoolawe 1.0 Lanai Lanai 0.81-1.5 Molokai East Molokai 1.3-1.75 West Molokai 1.5-1.8 Oahu Post Errosional 0.03-1.3 Koolau 1.8-2.6 Waianae 2.2-3.8 Kauai Koloa 1.41-1.43 Makaweli 3.5-4.1 Napali 4.4-5.7 Nihoa Nihoa 7.5 Necker Necker 11.3 Dr. Ken Rubin, Associate Professor and Mike Garcia, Professor Department of Geology and Geophysics University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822 Return to the Ask-An-Earth-Scientist © page

Hawaiian City Garden

.:::BOTANICAL GARDEN CITY of the North Mayor urges the world to continue environmental advocacy By: William Jun Garcia SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union-City Mayor Mary Jane C. Ortega urged the citizenry to continue its awareness on environmental concerns to avert impending disasters. The Mayor, who was invited by the 1,200-members of the Global Advisory Council for Mayors in Ottawa, Canada last week, said that a continued promotion on our environment would help the world delay the greenhouse effect on the aftermath of a global warming or an irregular climate change. She warned that a continued promotion and the prevention of an unabated abuse and degradation of the environment would also slow down the effects of ice or glacial melting on our oceans and the eventual sea-level rise and atmospheric problems due to solar radiation and pollution on man. The Mayor, who is internationally recognized for including in her governance a strict implementation, protection and preservation of environment and clean air and also addressing its concerns, has initiated the establishment of a sanitary landfill, soon-to-be converted into an engineered landfill in Barangay Mameltac. She likewise initiated for the City Council, through Vice Mayor Bernardo Nardi Valero, to enact and approve a city ordinance, mandating public utility tricycle engines to be converted from two to four strokes to minimize smog emission that pollute the air. These programs are one reason why she was the only Asian invited to speak among 14 mayors from all over the world during the conference. She was also considered as the spokesperson for a developing city from a developing country. She also added that climate change could not be stopped rather it has just started as manifested by the unusual strong hurricanes, series of earthquakes and strong tsunamis happening throughout world. These disasters were earlier predicted by experts to happen 75 years (year 2080) from now but are now ironically occurring according to the Mayor. Among the attendants in the said conference were mayors or representatives from local government units of Seattle, Wash.; Kyoto, Japan; Madagascar; Bonn, Germany; New Zealand; European Union members of Parliament; a minister from Australia; and senators of Canada. Meanwhile, from Ottawa, Mayor Ortega was also able to attend the Christmas Party for children rendered by 20 Filipino- Canadian residents who are natives of San Fernando City headed by its president, Albert Floresca, whose wife is the niece of La Union Governor Victor F. Ortega.
