Hawaii to Kure Atoll (distance =
1,500 miles)

Geologic Surroundings
Islands are a group of volcanoes that
have risen up over a hot spot of
molten rock that wells up from deep
in the earths interior.
As the ocean floor slowly moves over
this spot, islands are born. They are
then carried towards the northwest
as they erode and slowly sink below
the waves.
