Archbishop James Ussher was a renowned professor of Theology and an astronomer. He calculated the age of the earth by studying ancient Hebrew and Egyptian books and he deduced that the world begun on the 23rd of October 4004 BC.
His calculation became a critical component in Christianity because when English Bibles were printed, James Ussher's calculation was what was used in their chronologies. He became popular and his calculation was as respected as the Bible itself.
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.
