Hawaii hotspot created at least 129 volcanoes, more than 123 of which are extinct volcanoes, seamounts, and atolls, four of which are active volcanoes, and two of which are dormant volcanoes. They can be organized into three general categories: the Hawaiian archipelago, which comprises most of the U.S. state of Hawaii and is the location of all modern volcanic activity; the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, which consist of coral atolls, extinct islands, and atoll islands; and the Emperor Seamounts, all of which have since eroded and subsided to the sea and become seamounts and guyots (flat-topped seamounts). Hawaiian volcanoes are characterized by frequent
Active–stative language often show complications and special cases ("pure" active alignment is an ideal). Thus, the terminology used is rather flexible. Active languages are termed also "active–stative" or even "nominative–absolutive". The terms "agentive case" and "patientive case" used above are descriptive but not standard. They are sometimes replaced by the terms "active" and "inactive". The names of the subtypes, "split-S" and "fluid-S", come from the designation of the single argument of intransitive verbs as "S". The names were first used by Robert M. W. Dixon in 1979. (†) = extinct language According to Castro Alves (2010), a split-S alignment can be safely
