Popular Hawaiian Dishes Poi. This Hawaiian national dish is made from taro root, a starchy tuber early Hawaiians brought with them from Polynesia. Poi is considered a traditional Hawaiian food because it was eaten before the cuisine was influenced by the Western world. Taro is boiled, peeled, and pounded into a paste (the white or pink flesh often turns purple when cooked). In our recipe, we've let the blender take care of pounding.

Hawaii: Geology, Plate Tectonics/Hot Spot The northwest moving Pacific Plate has moved across the 'hot spot' that created the Hawaiian Islands for millions of years. This movement has left the northwest trending island chain (of over 20 islands and atolls) we call Hawaii. As islands move northwest, away from the 'hot spot,' they begin to erode and become volcanically inactive.

What Landforms Are in Hawaii? Scientifically speaking, the landforms in Hawaii are the result of a “hot spot” beneath the ocean bed combined with the ever shifting plates of the Earth’s crust. The result is a chain of islands offering everything from lush tropical forests to active volcanoes still adding acreage to Pele’s latest home.ele is still very busy on the Big Island of Hawaii. Kilauea has been actively producing lava and adding to the Big Island’s real estate since 1983. In 1990, that led to the destruction of Kalapana, a coastal village just east of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Micronesia: A Third Kind of Nation, Written Off? They are made up of islands, threatened by rising sea levels. They say it is not a future risk, but something that is happening now. Take the vast island nation of Micronesia, with an ancient culture that includes 607 islands, scattered across a million square miles of the western Pacific. These islands are already being eroded away by fast-rising sea level -- so fast that graveyards are disappearing.

- The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic in origin. Each island is made up of at least one primary volcano, although many islands are composites of more than one. The Big Island, for instance, is constructed of 5 major volcanoes: Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, Hualalai and Kohala.Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano on Earth. Kilauea is presently one of the most productive volcanoes on Earth (in terms of how much lava it erupts each year).he Big Island, for instance, is constructed of 5 major volcanoes: Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, Hualalai and Kohala.

- Detailed island maps of Hawaii including Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and the Big Island: Click on any island above to see a detailed map of the island. The Hawaiian Islands were created by a geologic hotspot underneath the surface of the earth. As the ocean floor moves over this spot, magma pushes forth creating new land and islands in the form of volcanoes. The Hawaiian Islands are the uppermost crests of these volcanoes.

How Were the Hawaiian Islands Formed? The constant movement of the plate stops volcanoes from erupting, but it also allows new volcanoes to be formed. Lo’ihi seamount, an active volcano south of Kilauea, is the firstborn from the countless eruptions and plate movements. Each island in Hawaii is composed of an active volcano. The Big Island, which is the largest of the Hawaiian Islands, is home to five major volcanoes, including Mauna Loa, the largest volcano on Earth. Aside from the eight major islands, the Hawaiian archipelago is also composed of islets, atolls and underwater seamounts in the North Pacific Ocean.

The 3 best (and most colorful) Big Island beaches Black Sand Beaches. Black sand at Kalapana. This new black sand beach is forming after the old one was swept away by a lava flow in 1986. The sand on all black sand beaches on Hawaii is made out of tiny fragments of lava. In contrast to the green and white sand, most of the black sand is created almost instantaneously. When hot lava enters the water it cools down so suddenly that it solidifies, and shatters into large amounts of black sand.
