The Hawaiian Islands ( Figure above ) are in the central Pacific Ocean. The islands are volcanoes that increase in age from southeast to northwest. The youngest island is the Big Island of Hawaii at the southeast end of the chain. The volcanoes get older through Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau Islands through the northwest. The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii has been erupting almost continuously since 1983. There are also eruptions at an underwater volcano called Loihi seamount. Loihi is the youngest volcano. Hawaii is a fantastic place to see volcanic eruptions and features.
Dave recently went on vacation to the Hawaiian Islands. He started his vacation on The youngest island and ended it on the oldest island. Dave especially liked seeing the Kilauea volcano. One of the tour guides told him about the Loihi volcano which erupts under water.
Did Kilauea errupt in 1986 yes or no?
