In this question we will consider the steady flow energy equation at the Top and at the bottom of the water falls and also assume the flow is Adiabatic
we will apply the relation below to Estimate the water temperature change caused by the drop
------ ( 1 )
where : Cp = 25100 ft. Ibf / slug °F
Δ z = 543 ft
g = 32.2 ft/s^2
Input the given values into equation 1 and make t subject of the relation
As the volcanic islands of Hawaii are still considered to be in an active zone, as the Hawaiian islands are believed to be formed on the hotspot of eruptions ie. the active plate boundaries from below the surface these tend to move westwards direction from the main island of Hawaii.
As we go from east to west the chain of rocks gets older and then forms a ring-shaped pattern hence called the ring of fire. Thus there is a great risk of volcanic hazard as these are fault lines being associated with high magnitude tectonic earthquakes.
They can have a seriously damaging impact upon other islands as well and this considered to be highly hazardous. As various vents and mounds of volcanic nature lie within the oceans of the Pacific plate.
