During the Pliocene, Haleakala did not exist yet. “In the late Pliocene time, the shields of six volcanoes were built up above sea level from basaltic lava foundation on the ocean floor.” These volcanoes erupted above from the ocean floor and build up shields of accumulations of pahoehoe and aa flows, these are the Honomau formation. “In the earliest Pleistocene times, flows of the Honomanu formation, many thousands of feet, thick, constructed the bulk of the East Maui volcano.
On 7:52 Japanese had launched a wave of fighter planes had invaded the Hawaiian island Oahu and had a successful surprise attack. This attack had killed many soldiers in Hawaii and many innocent people around the island. These planes had bombarded the Oahu island everywhere causing a riot and a successful assault.

Imperialism was a controversial idea that a nation can extend its power outward through means of diplomatic or military force. This often results in a shift of power from one major force currently in control to another. The people of that nation under control conflict may also experience wars, rebellions, or cultural destruction. Looking at some of these events, we see some positives and negatives of imperialistic action taken by the United States, and how it affected the nations imperialized by the United States. For starters, let’s look at Hawaii’s annexation.

There are many natural disasters that affect the world, for example, volcanoes. Mount St. Helens is known to be the most active volcano in the Cascade Range in Washington; effecting the people and the state. It was first recognized as a volcano in 1835! Before the eruption on May 18,1980, Mount St. Helens was a beautiful symmetrical cone, 3,000 meters above sea level. For most of the 20th century, many people viewed this mountain and recreation area as a beautiful and peaceful place, but after the volcano erupted in 1980 that view point was shattered.
The Earth’s crust has several moving pieces. They are composed of a variety of igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The tectonic plates are always colliding or pulling apart, creating mountains. Earthquakes and volcanoes occur at the edge of these tectonic plates because of the impact of the plate movements are greatest there.
One way Hawaiians were impacted negatively was their cultural beliefs. One cultural belief that they believed in was that marriage between family was not allowed and was sinful.

Invasive species have been a massive problem in Hawaii since the 17s and 18 hundreds. At first, it wasn’t that big of a deal, but the influx of invasive species grew over time, and it became a dangerous slippery slope. Species that were once alienated poured into Hawaii and destroyed indigenous species that had been native to Hawaii for a very long time. Since then, the Hawaiian people and advocates of removing invasive plants and animals have banded together to help remove these species. There has been a great global effort to remove invasive species in all places, but the hasty spread of them has made it almost impossible to eradicate a lot of them. I think my group can majorly help with this by educating you all about the seriousness of invasive species.

They are so high because of the many eruptions that already happened here. The debris were falling on the sides of the volcano, making it grow. A stratovolcano is able to produce the worst of all the eruptions: the Plinian eruption. It is called after a famous Roman naval commander and at the same time a scientist interested in natural and geological events, Pliny the Elder. He died while trying to get closer to the Mount Vesuvius that was erupting.
