what does Hawaii look like?
Hawaii has the big island,the main island, and some other islands
it has a
lot of beaches with wave it has nice grassy and sandy parts and
nice palm
trees.
Hawaii’s flag is red, white, and blue. It has 8 stripes in white
then red then blue. And in the top corner there is a red and white cross with a
red and white x through
it.
The
Big Island sits over a
geological "hot spot" in the Earth's mantle where active
lava continues to
churn from the island's living volcanoes. While that "hot
spot" stays in
place, the sea floor above it shifts at the speedy rate of a few
inches per
year. The result, over millions of years, is a chain of volcanoes
thousands
of miles long.
