At this moment there are three active volcanoes in Hawaii. On Hawaii Islands you'll find Maunaloa and Kilauea in Hawaii National Park. Maunaloa last erupted in 1984 and Kilauea has been erupting continuously since 1983. Loihi is underwater off the southern coast of Hawaii's Big Island. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is Hawaii's number one visitor attraction. This three hundred seventy seven square mile park on Hawaii Island is a museum where visitors can see the amazing power of Hawaii's volcanoes in surprisingly profound ways. On the hiking trail temperature varies by elevation. At the summit of the volcano, temperatures may be twelve to fifteen degrees cooler than if you were at sea level. The coastal plain at the end of Chain of Craters Road is where lava crossed the road in 2003, is often hot, dry, and windy with the chance of showers. While camping the daytime temperature range was sixties to seventies degrees fahrenheit. Nighttime the temperature range was thirties to low fifties degrees

    The attack on the Pacific Fleet (Pearl Harbor) was taking care of properly and the reaction from the US was rightful and justified. The lingering question is if the attack that US had on Japan was too far and did not fit the “crime”. Well indeed the answer to this question is that the US reacted properly and by entering WWII just to defeat and destroy Japan and its leaders was nothing but right. Even by defeating Japan, this was not enough to pay back the emotional toll the soldiers and families had to go through.…

    The volcano is filled with magma, which then turns into lava when it erupts, it is white liquid when it erupts then changes colours through yellow, orange, red and then when it solidifies it turns black and hard.[Source 6] The volcano also consists of gas (such as steam and hydrogen sulfide), ash and lumps of solid volcanic rock (such as scoria).Volcanoes are at or near the edges of the tectonic plates. The reason why volcanoes erupt is that there is too much pressure in the earth and then that leads to the release of the magma(lava), and the plates will move. Sometimes major volcanic eruptions also produce tsunamis.
