Hawaii is a chain of islands that formed in the Pacific Ocean due to volcanic activity. The Pacific Plate moves very slowly over a hot spot in Earth's mantle. This caused a string of islands known as an archipelago to form. Over the course of many centuries, one island would form over the hot spot, but the plate would move, allowing a new island to form. Older islands have been worn away and sink back into the ocean in time. The engaging text addresses geological forces of the area, as well as how people have discovered its many geological secrets. Maps, colorful photographs, and primary sources help readers make the most of their reading experience.
