Volcanic of Hawaii
The state of Hawaii is a chain of hundreds of islands in the Pacific Ocean which
were formed by volcanic explosions that occurred on the ocean floor. There are
eight main islands, and the largest one, Hawaii, is also called the ‘Big Island.’ This
keeps people from confusing the name of the island with the name of the whole
state. The Big Island was formed by the eruptions of five different volcanoes.
Kilauea, on the Big Island, is the most active volcano in the world.
Le’ahi, more commonly known as Diamond Head, is a volcanic crater located
on the island of O’ahu. It is an inactive volcano that has an American military
base in the centre of it. Diamond Head is a popular spot for visitors to the nearby
Waikiki beach, and the state capital of Honolulu. Molokini is a moon-shaped
extinct volcanic crater located in the water near the island of Maui. The crater is
an extremely popular spot for scuba divers and snorkellers because of the rare sea
life and coral that are located only here. No one actually lives on this island, but
many people visit it every day with their boats.
Punalu’u is a very famous beach located on the Big Island. Punalu’u
is well known because it actually has black sand. The sand formed
from the volcano when lava combined with water and cooled. The
sand is protected by the Hawaiian government, and it is against the
law to remove it from the island. Kaihalulu is a beach on the coast
of Maui that is known for its beautiful red sand. Kaihalulu is one
of the few red sand beaches in the world. Its sand is red from the
cliffs that overlook it. Iron from the rock colours the sand a bright
red. With such unique geographical features, it is no surprise that
Hawaii is one of the most popular holiday destinations on the
planet.
