Description
This diagram shows the age relation of volcanoes along the Hawaiian Ridge with respect to distance from Kilauea. Notice the trend of increasing age the further from Kilauea the volcano is located. This image can also be viewed without the radiometric age information in order to visualize a simplified Map of the Hawaiian Islands and Emperor Seamounts.
