Answer:

The Hawaiian Islands were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate. While the hot spot itself is fixed, the plate is moving. So, as the plate moved over the hot spot, the string of islands that make up the Hawaiian Island chain were formed.

On the Earth's outer crust, there are plates of rock that move called tectonic plates. When the Earth's tectonic plates come together, they form volcanoes. The islands of Hawaii actually sit in the middle of the Pacific Plate on a hot spot.

A hot spot is an area that is so warm that magma, or lava that sits inside of the rocks in a volcano, erupts and falls to the bottom of the ocean. Since Hawaii is located on a hot spot, it is very common for volcanoes to form and erupt there.

Over millions of years, five volcanoes erupted to create the eight islands of Hawaii. These volcanoes are Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai, Kilauea, and Kohala.

Olegator [25]

Divisions within Christian religion were initiated by Martin Luther during the 1500's.

Martin Luther was a German professor of theology, and a religious reformer who initiated the Protestant Reformation that occurs during the 1500's. Martin Luther stood against many practices and doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church. He also instigated a group that recreated some basic principles of Christian and led in the separation of western Christianity between the new protestant traditions (such as the Anglican communion, Anabaptists, Lutheranism), and Roman Catholicism.

Explain interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.
erik [133]

Explanation:

When a parcel of air in the atmosphere becomes saturated with water, precipitation, such as rain or snow, can fall to Earth's surface. That precipitation connects the hydrosphere with the geosphere by promoting erosion and weathering, surface processes that slowly break down large rocks into smaller ones.
