Most volcanoes occur near the Earth's plate boundaries, but some do not. For example, the Hawaiian islands have been formed over millions of years by volcanic eruptions thousands of miles from the edges of the Pacific plate.Island formation is still happening on Hawaii every time the shield volcanoes Kilauea and Mauna Loa erupt.ost volcanoes occur near the Earth's plate boundaries, but some do not.

Jordan River. The Jordan River (also River Jordan; Hebrew: × Ö°×Ö·×¨ ×Ö·×Ö·Ö¼×¨Ö°×ÖµÖ¼×â Nahar ha-Yarden; Arabic: ÙÙÙÙØ± Ø§ÙÙØ£ÙØ±ÙØ¯ÙÙÙââ Nahr al-Urdun, Ancient Greek: Î¹Î¿ÏÎ´Î¬Î½Î·Ï, IordÃ nes) is a 251-kilometre (156 mi)-long river in the Middle East that flows roughly north to south through the Sea of Galilee and on to the Dead Sea.
Much of the land in this graben, as it is called, is below sea level, with the lowest levels in the Dead Sea at-794 m. The Jordan River flows into the Dead Sea, which has no outlet. The Rift valley, however, continues to the Gulf of Aqaba, where Jordan has 20 km of coastline.
