The era of piracy began in the 1500’s and faded by the 1830’s. Their presence was consistent in the Caribbean from 1623-1638 which ended due to navies of Western Europe and North Americans combatting the pirates. Pirates were most successful from 1660-1730’s. Particularly during the 1600’s, maritime technology began innovation. Trading traffic increased, which for pirates meant more ships to ransack and give rise to their piracy. By the 1690’s, pirates began a route they named the “Pirate Round.” They would sail from the Indian to the Red Sea, searching for trade ships deploying from India. 1718 was the beginning of the end for the “Golden Age of Piracy.” Two years later, in 1720, the English captured famous pirate Jack Rackham and his two female shipmates. In 1722, the wealthiest pirate known had died. His name was Bartholomew Roberts. By 1730, this era had ended.
The Hawaiian Islands are formed on a region of intra plate volcanic activity on the Pacific plate. This region is known as a hot spot. Scientists are not exactly sure what causes this but they do know that a plume of magma rises through the mantle and forces it's way through the crust to form submarine volcanoes and over time volcanic islands.
The magma that rises here originates from the mantle and not crustal melt and so forms basic or basaltic lava.
