Hawaii Maps Kauai
What process could be responsible for age differences between Hawaii and older rocks?
Locating a map of the sea floor…. The older rocks of Kauai 5.5mya, and the rocks of Maui being younger 0.8 and 1.3mya. The rocks of Hawaii are even younger at 0.7ma.
Which process could be responsible for the age differences?
The Hawaiian Islands were formed (are still being formed) by volcanoes caused by a hot spot in the mantle. Most volcanoes are formed at plate boundaries. However, the Hawaiian Island are located on the interior part of the Pacific Plate. That plate is moving but the hot spot under the plate is not moving. Therefor, as the plate moves a new volcano will begin at the spot that is directly above the hot spot. The older volcanoes are moving away from the hot spot and are no longer active volcanoes-only islands. So the islands that are the greatest distance from the active volcanic island are the oldest and will have the oldest rocks while the island with the active volcano will have the youngest rocks.
BTW: Looking at the configuration of these islands will show which way the Pacific plate is moving.
