An island is a land surrounded by a body of water. For example, Hawaii is an island because it is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean.
Volcanoes play an important role in creating land since they are the sources of magma, which once above ground normally cools to create new land. In the ocean, this land normally forms at divergent and convergent boundaries or hot spots. At divergent boundaries (where two plates move apart), magma constantly erupts along a trench deep below the ocean's surface. This magma rarely piles upward and instead is pushed to both sides of the trench. This is how new seafloor forms. Convergent boundaries can create island arcs like Indonesia as magma erupts bit by bit. Hot spots occur in the middle of plates. They are instances where the mantle pierces through the crust and begins to erupt directly onto to seafloor. Over time, these eruptions will pile up and create underwater volcanoes until they potentially make it above sea level, thereby forming an island. This is how Hawaii was and continues to be formed.
The Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles based primarily on objections to the League of Nations. The U.S. would never endorse the treaty or join the League of Nations. The U.S senators, headed by Senate Majority Leader Henry Cabot Lodge, opposed the treaty because they felt the U.S was giving up too much power under the League of Nations.

Answer:
East Asian Buddhism or East Asian Mahayana is a collective term for the schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism that developed in East and Southeast Asia and follow the Chinese Buddhist canon. These include the various forms of Chinese Buddhism, Japanese Buddhism, Korean Buddhism, Singaporean Buddhism and Vietnamese Buddhism.
Explanation:
Although Buddhism is not traditionally a religion that actively seeks to 'convert' others, it nonetheless spread across South East Asia and became a widely followed religion in many countries in the Middle Ages, due largely to the voyages of Buddhist traders across Central Asia.
