Description
This data set has been modified from the
Age of Hawaiian Islands and Outer Seamounts
data set. This is a simplified version of the original data set and provides data for the name, age and distance from Kilauea of the Hawaiian islands and some of the Emperor seamounts. There is a roughly linear relationship between distance from Kilauea and age of volocano/seamount that can be seen if you graph this data set.
Geological Age Range and Timescale
64.7 Ma
Location
Pacific Ocean, United States of America, Hawaii
Instructions
This data set can be used with a
map of the Hawaiian islands and Emperor seamounts
to determine the velocity of the pacific plate.
