	General Nature of the Island
		The Kohala volcano on the northern end of the island, 5,505 feet high, became extinct in the Middle Pleistocene.
		Thus, the island’s large area and the height and extent of its great mountains have facilitated the development of a variety of local climates, the characteristics of which depend chiefly on the degree of exposure to the prevailing trade winds.
		In even greater contrast, the Kona area on the western side of the island is so completely sheltered by the high mountains to the east that the trade winds are never felt; and the prevailing winds are onshore sea breezes during the day and offshore land breezes at night.

	Big Island Natural Environment and Climate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
