The reason is two fold, the first is the active volcano of Kilauea implies there is a lot of heat under the big island of Hawaii, and that heat causes the island to be buoyed up. However, the other islands do not have active volcanos, are colder, and have subsided, the 2nd is, because the volcanoes on the older islands are dormant, those islands are and are no longer growing and are steadily eroding away.
To be frank starch is made up of long chains of glucose. While cell walls are made from cellulose created from photosynthesis. Cellulose is made up of glucose and cell walls are the most abundant carbohydrate.
In converting a number with the unit of meter into kilometer we must use the conversion factor 1 km per 1000 meters.This is because in 1 kilometer there are 1000 meters and then the unit to be converted is already in meter so we need to divide it for us to convert.
As we get closer to the coral reef, there are going to be several things we notice. The first thing we notice will be the large number of coral that seem to have lost their color, turning bright white. In addition, if we are in Florida, we may see something called the stony coral tissue loss disease. This disease has been of great concern in recent years in Floridian waters. Looking at these two changes, we can see that both are from the impact of climate change. As the water warms, the stress on the coral reaches a high point and they start to bleach and become more susceptible to several diseases.
I hope I've helped! :)
