3. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was established on August 16 th, 1916 it became a park when many people suggested the volcanic wonders should be protected so people pressured Lorrin Thurston into creating a national park.

4.  Hawaii along with the rest of it’s islands was made by a weak spot in Earth’s surface. Hawaii is the home of the national park and the two volcanoes in the national park, Mauna Loa, and Kilauea are still active.

5. ROCKS When the magma from the volcano turns solid it turns into volcanic rock. Most of the islands of Hawaii are formed by magma, so they are built out of volcanic rock.

6. Special landforms/features  A well known feature at the national park is the floor of Kilauea Caldera that surrounds Halemaumau.  There are many types of landforms in the park such as; calderas, and different types of volcanoes.

7. How is the land changing? As the volcanoes erupt at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park the park’s structure changes. As the magma turns solid the shape and texture of the land becomes different. Meaning the park’s landscape is changing very often.

8. Environmental issues  There is high amounts of dangerous sulfur dioxide. It comes from volcanic gases that is dangerous for people to breath.  Volcanoes can erupt at any time and are harmful to living things. Many hazards happen when living around an active volcano.

9. Technology  Hawaii Volcanoes National Park uses technology for monitoring and forecasting. People forecast the volcanoes just like people do for the weather.  The National Park uses a seismic network that is set up to measure the park’s volcanic and tectonic features.
