I am a 15 year old Sophomore at Konawaena High School. Here are some reasons why people are passionate of Mauna Kea. As far as we know the last time Mauna Kea erupted

University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo is in the attempt of building a Thirty-Meter telescope on Mauna Kea. To Hawaiians Mauna Kea holds a high value of historical and sacred context and should not be disturbed. Although, the construction of the thirty-meter telescope (TMT) will result in being the most powerful telescope in the world, bringing the worlds best researchers to Hawaiʻi. The construction of TMT will also bring an estimated total of 10,000 job opportunities to Hawaiʻi (Deneen). The TMT poses

Abstract This paper will talk about the ethical dilemma that has been a controversial issue in Hawaii regarding the construction of the thirty-meter telescope being built on Mauna Kea, the most sacred land in the entire pacific. This issue has risen concerns regarding the local community, the Native Hawaiians and the TMT organization. The ethical dilemma here is to build or not to build? Yes, Hawaii wants to preserve the host culture, but should Native Hawaiians prevent the development of new technology

geologic activity at Yellowstone and Hawaii. At Yellowstone there are 1,000-3,000 earthquakes per year at Yellowstone. There are also over 10,000 thermal features found in Yellowstone (Volcano Questions & Answers). In Hawaii Mauna Loa and Kilauea are regarded as active volcanoes. Mauna Loa last erupted in 1984 and scientist predict this volcano will erupt again in the future. Kilauea is the world most active volcano and has been continuously erupting since 1983
