AN island filled with beautiful beaches, whole days of great wetaher, and the chance to kick back and relax…that is what Hawaii is to most people.There is alos another, can we say intriguing, side to Hawaii, and that is the fact that it is full of volcanoes.

Hawaiian volcanoes are some of the best known in the world today.Scientists and tourists alike can be found flocking the islands as it is one of the few known places with live volcanoes.After all, not many of us can say we went and visited an actual live volcano can we? Each Hawaiian island has at least one volcano on it, and many of these islands still have active Hawaii volcanoes. It is believed that the Hawaiian Islands are at the end of a chain of volcanoes that started forming more than 70 million years ago, and it is no wonder then that these islands are also a place of great history.The lava found in these areas is pre historic and so the amount of information we can find out about the early world from them is immense. As old Hawaii volcanoes erupt and go silent, newer one are formed as well, which means this is a continuing process.

The threat posed by Hawaii volcanoes has grown over the years. As the active volcanoes continue spouting lava, the height of land in the ‘Big Island’ of Hawaii has grown to 4,000 m and the threat these Hawaii volcanoes pose to humans are quite high as well. Over the years, land development has expanded towards the more hazardous parts of the island, meaning that more and more people are being put at risk due to eruption of the Hawaii volcanoes. Another kind of risk posed by Hawaii volcanoes is the airborne lava fragments that can be harmful to humans and animals alike.

So do volcanic gases and the constant threat of ground craks and settling. A large threat is also posed by lava that will flow directly into the sea. Since large quantities of lava could flow directly into the sea, where they are suddenly cooled, new land masses can form at seemingly short timing, and scalding water could be pushed put towards the beaches as well. All these can pose great harm to those nearby.
