	Hawaiian Volcanoes
		Eruptions in the Hawaiian volcanoes are usually preceded by a series of earthquakes which open fissures and allow magma to reach the surface.
		Hawaiian flows are considered to issue forth relatively quietly since the lava is quite fluid, and the gases escape readily without the disruption of the lava into ash or cinders.
		Channelized flows can also be found within lunar, Martian, and Venusian lava flows and are thought to be an indicator of high discharge rates.

	Alohacyberian of Hawaii - The Leeward Islands with Keith Martin
		The Hawaiian Islands are isolated from the rest of the coral reef ecosystems in the Pacific Ocean.
		Hawaiian monk seals and sea turtles breed and feed at Pearl and Hermes, and it is a mating area for spinner dolphins.
		They return to the island to mate, usually for life, and, thereafter, return to their native island once a year to engage in their elaborate courtship dances and mating rituals.

	Hot spot biogeography
		The growth and subsidence of the islands as they pass over the hot spot influences the distances between islands, the climate zones and ecosystems available on the islands, and the evolution of the animal and plant species.
		Distances between the older islands are greater now than in the past because of subsidence and landslides, so channels between islands were not always the barriers to species emigration as they appear today.
		The high islands have extraordinary biological diversity compared with lower islands, due to elevation, rainfall patterns (which are influenced by elevation), and heterogeneous topography.

	Hawaiians
		Hawaiian chiefs had traditionally clashed over land and the resources of the sea, but many of their disputes were settled in ritualized combat, which resulted in relatively few casualties.
		While native Hawaiians almost invariably suffered as their homeland underwent its transformations, it is also true that the Hawaiian culture greatly affected the attitudes and perspectives of many immigrant groups.
		The Hawaiian legend of the King of Ku-ai-he-lani is similar to the western tale of Cinderella; and Au-ke-le recalls Rip Van Winkle, or perhaps Odysseus.

	Cultural History of Three Traditional Hawaiian Sites (Chapter 1)
		Except for certain wide and dangerous channels that limited communication in some directions, the earliest inhabitants were able to voyage among most islands of the group with relative ease by paddling or sailing canoes.
		The larger islands of the Hawaiian chain comprise the emerged summits of a 1,600-mile-long northwest-southeast trending range of volcanic mountains resting on the Pacific Plate.
		Erosion is usually greater on the windward side of the islands where the greatest amounts of rain fall, causing the formation of steep valleys and cliffs, often cut by permanent streams.

	Evolution and Island Hopping
		The plants and animals that inhabit each new island have arrived mainly from the adjacent older volcanic islands, although the ancestors of all originally arrived as waifs from distant continents.
		At other times, the journey down the island chain is long and difficult, because the volcanoes are widely spaced, and because the channels are wide, such as between Kauai and Oahu.
		The elevation of the islands is decreased by as much as 7,000 feet in the first million years.

	Galapagos
		The Hawaiian mantle plume is located beneath the Pacific plate, which is moving to the west-north-west, hence the Hawaiian Islands get older to the west-northwest.
		In the west, on the islands of Isabela and Fernandina, large volcanoes with an "inverted soup-bowl" morphology and deep calderas occur.
		The Hawaiian volcanoes, which are the largest on Earth and much larger than the largest of the Galapagos volcanoes, are more similar to the shields of the eastern Galapagos volcanoes.

		No export duty or charges shall be imposed in the Hawaiian Islands, or in the United States, upon any of the articles proposed to be admitted into the ports of the United States or the ports of the Hawaiian Islands free of duty under the first and second articles of this convention.
		The decline of the native Hawaiian element in the presence of newer and sturdier growths must be accepted as an inevitable fact, in view of the teachings of ethnological history.
		A Hawaiian homestead set for the benefit of actual American settlers, with remission of taxation during the time necessary to establish new plantations on a paying basis, might be in turn supplemented in the United States by voluntarily organized emigration schemes and cooperative aid to bona fide settlers.

	Channels of the Hawaiian Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In an archipelago like the Hawaiian Islands the water between islands is typically called a channel or passage.
		The Alalakeiki Channel separates the islands of Kahoolawe and Maui.
		This is one of the less treacherous channels between islands in the archipelago, although strong winds and choppy sea conditions are frequent.

	Hawaiian Cultural Heritage
		Native Hawaiians continue to maintain their strong cultural ties to the land and sea and continue to understand the importance of managing the islands and waters as inextricably connected to one another (Beckwith 1951; Lili‘uokalani 1978).
		Likewise, channels between islands were also given names and served as connections between islands, as well as a reminder to their larger oceanic history and identity.
		Native Hawaiian Practices means cultural activities conducted for the purposes of perpetuating traditional knowledge, caring for and protecting the environment, and strengthening cultural and spiritual connections to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands that have demonstrable benefits to the Native Hawaiian community.

	Cultural History of Three Traditional Hawaiian Sites (Chapter 1)
		Little is known about the earliest Hawaiian population, but because of their Polynesian background as fishermen and agriculturalists, during this formative time settlement probably began along the coastlines near rich fishing grounds.
		During the early colonization period in the islands, Hawaiian society probably remained structured along the lines of its ancestral concept of hereditary chieftainship, with settlers organized into corporate descent groups.
		The political history of all the major islands during the final two centuries prior to European contact comprised constant attempts by ruling chiefs to extend their domains through conquest and annexation of lands, with campaigns often extending beyond the borders of individual islands.

	Channel Modifications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		ODIFICATIONS OF In their 1978 report, Timbol and Maciolek identified channel modification as a significant factor contributing to the degradation of stream biological quality in the Hawaiian Islands Six types of channel modifications were distinguished.
		Environmental commentary is difficult because of the lack of definitive information on the effects of channelization either on total stream ecology or on individual native species.
		The effects of such lined channels on the quality and quantity of fauna upstream (i.e., effects on migration) or on the downstream environment (e.g., heating) are unknown.

	NWHI: About: Midway Atoll
		Midway, the best known of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI), is a circular-shaped atoll with three small islets (Sand, Eastern, and Spit) on the southern end of a lagoon.
		It was clear that Midway’s geographical position as a “stepping tone across the Pacific” made the island a critical link in cable communications (1903) and as an early transpacific Panamerican seaplane stop (1935).
		Two species of seagrasses are found at Midway, one of which is a Hawaiian endemic, and the second species is one not previously recorded from the Hawaiian Islands.

	The Formation of the Hawaiian Islands
		The aging of the islands with distance from the current hot spot is demonstrated in the diagram below, where distance along the chain is approximated as distance away from Kilauea volcano (the youngest above-sea-level Hawaiian volcano).
		The Hawaiian Islands are believed to be formed from one such 'hot spot'.
		This, combined with erosion of the islands once active volcanism stops, leads to a shrinking of the islands with age and their eventual submergence below the ocean surface.
