Exercise 2.11 plate direction: footprints of a moving plate name: course: section date: _ the hawaian islands, located in the pacific ocean far from the nearest oceanic ridge, are an excellent example of hot spot volcanic islands (see figure below). volcanoes on kauai, oahu, and maui haven't erupted for milions of yeas the island of hawai hosts five huge volcanoes, one of which (kilaue) has been active for the past 31 years. in addition, new volcano, loihi, is growing on the pacific ocean floor just southeast of kilauea. as the pacific plate moves, kilauea will become extinct and loihi will be the primary active volcano. (a) where is the hawaiian hot-spot plume located today relative to the hawaian islands? explain your reasoning (b) draw a line connecting the volcanic center (highlighted in red) on maui to the spot between kilauea and loihi (the volcanic center for hawaii). connect the volcanic centers of maui to molokai, molokai to oahu, and oahu to kauai as well. ages of hawaiian volcanoes in millions of years before present niihau seamount oahu ma pacific ocean ilauea 50 mi loihi 0 50 km (c) geologists use the azimuth system to describe direction precisely. in the azimuth system, north is 0 south is 180°, and west is 270°, as shown in the following figure. the green arrow points to 052 practice using the azimuth system, estimate and then measure the directions shown by arrows a thro protractor in your toolkit. o°, east is 090 (northeast). to ugh d. use the
