Answer:

The hawaiian islands are located where the pacific plate is: MOVING OVER A HOT SPOT OR MANTLE PLUME.

Explanation:

The Hawaiian islands are islands that were formed due to the rise of heat in the deep region of the Earth's mantle. The rise of the heat caused the production of magma which forced its way through the Earth's crust and solidified thereby resulting in the formation of the Hawaiian Islands.

The Hawaiian Islands are located where an oceanic tectonic plate which is found beneath the Pacific Ocean also known as the Pacific plate is moving over a hot spot or mantle plume.

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.

2.If you lived near the north pole, how many hours of daylight and darkness would you experience?
trapecia [35]

Answer:

<u>5.5 months of daylight and 6 months of darkness</u>

Explanation:

  • Daylight varies with time f the year and sun stilt around the arctic circle gets 24 hours of day and night each summer and winter months. The intensity of sunlight in the arctic is much less as in tropics.
  • During the equinoxes, every location the earth has equal amounts of day and night patterns even the poles that lie on the end have viral or spring equinoxes.
  • The North Pole when the sun dops at 12 degrees below. Thus the sun rises around the vernal equinox in March. Then the sun stays in about six months. Sun again around the autumnal equinox in Sept.
  • Hence if you live in or near the north pole the daylight time is quite less.
