It is a mystery that has persisted in science for centuries. Correct! a hot spot in the mantle There is a ripping zone in the asthenosphere underneath the crust, much like a rip in your pants. As the rip grows, another new island emerges with volcanoes. While there are certainly a lot of things to still study about the origin of the Hawaiian (and Emperor) volcanic chain, there is widespread agreement that a hot spot in the mantle melts the Pacific Plate as it mover over the hot spot -- resulting in the Hawaiian Islands.  Question 2 1 / 1 pts Correct! Temperatures are fairly constant because large bodies of water regulate temperature fluctuations. There are hot summers and cold winters because different air masses aren't blocked by any landmasses on their way to the island. Sea breezes and land breezes lead to wide temperature fluctuations throughout the year. Cold ocean currents keep the island much cooler than it would be at this latitude. WARNING: This quiz can only be taken once. However, the canvas quizzes are programmed so you can pause and then return to them. Volcanoes found across the globe tend to be concentrated at the boundaries of tectonic plates (where they are crashing together or pulling apart). Yet, Hawai'i is set in the middle of a tectonic plate (the Pacific Plate). What is the reason for the existence of the volcanoes of the Big Island and the entire Hawaiian Island chain? How does the island's positioning in the middle of the Pacific Ocean influence the climate?

This has to do with specific heat of objects. The oceans take a long time to warm up and cool down, so air moving across large stretches of water are going to be influenced by the slow changing nature of the water temperature underneath.  Question 3 0 / 1 pts summit caldera Correct Answer rift zones summit crater You Answered the various cinder cones scattered widely across the shield volcano surface Rift zones are the source of most of the basalt lava that emerges and flows to build up the topography of shield volcanoes.  Question 4 1 / 1 pts Kilauea Mauna Loa Correct! Maui Hualalai Kohala Mauna Kea Maui is a different island in the Hawaiian chain, where Haleakala is the name of the largest shield volcano on that island. The "Big 5" Hawaii shield volcanoes are Kohala, Hualalai, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Kilauea. Quiz Score: 3 out of 4 What is the source of most of the lava that flows down the Hawaiian shield volcanoes? Select the best answer. Which one of the following is NOT a shield volcano found on the Big Island of Hawai'i? Select the best answer.
