Interesting question Jason. Since Kathryn D. has already covered Hawaii’s composition as an island, I’ll try to address your question about whether Hawaii will attach to a larger continent or reabsorb into the earth. Islands, just like any other landmass, float on the lithosphere below the crust in a state known as isostatic equilibrium. The most common causes of island formation is volcanic activity (which formed Hawaii) and continental drift. The effects of plate tectonics can already be noticed in areas throughout Hawaii. For example, researchers have noticed that the Oahu Mountain is being slowly pushed northwest. This falls in line with scientist’s belief that within the next 50 to 200 million years, all of Earth's continents will combine

Today I arrived at Haleakala National Park to visit for two days. This island is located on the east side of Maui, Haleakala is 33,233 acres. Haleakala means, “House of the Sun” in Hawaiian. Every year Haleakala has over 1.4 million visitors. This year I am one of the lucky visitors to explore this National Park. Made up of a volcano, mountains and beaches this is going to be an adventure so I’m keeping a journal about my adventure at Haleakala National Park. The park is divided into two areas, the summit and coastal Kipahulu area. I will journal about the elevation of the summit and the coastal area Kipahulu.

The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom led to Hawaii being annexed to the United States. The overthrow involved many people and groups who supported Hawaii being annexed, such as Lorrin Thurston and The Committee of Safety. However, there were also many people who were against it including, Robert Wilcox, James Blount, and Aloha Aina. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom happened on January 17, 1893, where the provisional government took over and declared martial law in Hawaii. The Hawaiian Kingdom was officially annexed by the United States on August 12, 1898. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was unjustified because King Kalakaua was forced to sign the Bayonet constitution of 1887 which took all the power away from him and the monarchy.

The first person to unite the island was Kamehameha. He was born as Paiea, the lonely one. His uncle, Kalani’opu’u was the ruler of Hawai’i before Kamehameha conquered the islands. He/Kamehameha wasn’t supposed to become the king after all. Until he achieved so many mana from all the battles he won and from the people who respected him, he was able to become the king, Kamehameha the Great.

The state of Hawaii and its islands are role models for the nation and world when it comes to protection of ecological and biological resources. From establishments of protection of at least 20% of U.S. Coral reefs and associated habitat types in no-take areas, to working with local, governmental and global stakeholders to amend treaties and Acts that the nation can involve in. Currently, there are 43 sites considered marine protected areas and 12 of these are no-take zones. Papahãnaumokuãkea Marine National Monument is one of these.

They started the Republic Of Hawaii. They became a US territory five years later. In the 1900’s most of the Hawaiian economy was based on sugar and pineapple plantations, which brought in Japanese, Chinese, Filipino and Portuguese immigrants.

Hawaii The Big Island Revealed is great reading to learn about sites and their history. However, it is not a travel guide: it does not do a good job of spatially orienting you on the island or of logically combining

The time I went to the Virgin Islands the time I went to the Virgin Islands (St. Croix) I was about eleven years old and it was summer vacation. I was born on the island of St. Croix my grandparents live there, plus my entire family, so my parents thought it would be a good idea to send me just for the summer to get to know the island, and my heritage a little bit more.

The ideal vacation for me is somewhere nice and warm. A vacation where you are suppose to be able to unwind and relax. Being around somewhere that isn't school related or teachers. For me, a way to relax is not to be around loud things, like little kids and preferably somewhere peaceful. A good vacation is somewhere near a nice beach, where I can have a delicious barbeque while chilling with some music. If there was a break, I would choose to go to Hawaii or somewhere with a breathtaking view so I can take many pictures.
