People aren't aloud to
live on Kahoolalwe. The islands were all created by
Volcanoes. The beach sands can be white, gold, black, salt and
pepper, green, or garnet. Haleakala is the highest point in all
the islands. There are only 12 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet:
A,E,I,O,U,H,K,L,M,N,P,W.

Maui is called the
valley island because it's between 2 volcanoes. It has large sugar
cane and pineapple fields. The seven sacred pools are waterfalls
that flow into each other. Haleakala is the biggest volcano,
rising 10,000 feet above sea level, it's landscape looks like the
moon's.

Molokini is an old
volcano that one of the sides (over time) disintegrated and fell off and
now is a very popular dive and snorkel spot. It gets up to 75
degrees to 85 degrees Fahrenheit all the time in the Hawaiian
islands.

Hawaii is called
the big island because it's the biggest out of all the Hawaiian
islands. Kilauea is still activly flowing. Hawaii was
created by five volcanoes: Kohala, Haualala, Mouha Kea, Mauna Loa, and
Kilauea.

Oahu has Hanauma
Bay, it's great for snorkeling there, it's a big coral reef and is home
to loads of tropical fish. Pali lookout was the site of King
Kamehameha led his warriors to drive their enemies off of the
cliff. Diamond head is over 100,000 years old.

Molokai is called the friendly islands because its people welcome visistors so warmly. Kahoolawe is the smallest of the eight islands and it's very dry and windswept, not what you would have expected for a hawaiian island. |
