class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A volcano above a hot spot does not erupt forever. Attached to the tectonic plate below, the volcano moves and is eventually cut off from the hot spot. Without any source of heat, the volcano becomes extinct and cools. This cooling causes the rock of the volcano and the tectonic plate to become more dense.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-happens-to-the-age-of-the-hawaiian-islands-moving-away-from-the-hot-spot\"><\/span>What happens to the age of the Hawaiian Islands moving away from the hot spot?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>the ages of the volcanic rocks comprising of each island or seamount progressively increases with distance from the active volcanism on the Big Island.

Therefore, scientists believe that the islands formed due to the presence of the Hawaiian &#8220;hot spot,&#8221; a region deep in the Earth&#8217;s mantle from which heat rises.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-hawaii-in-the-middle-of-the-pacific-plate\"><\/span>Why is Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Plate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Volcanoes can also form in the middle of a plate, where magma rises upward until it erupts on the seafloor, at what is called a \u201chot spot.\u201d The Hawaiian Islands were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate. While the hot spot itself is fixed, the plate is moving.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-the-hawaiian-islands-moving\"><\/span>Are the Hawaiian Islands moving?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the case of the Hawaiian Islands, the <a href=\"https:\/\/trendingsimple.com\/hawaii\/how-do-you-know-the-pacific-plate-is-moving-to-the-nw-in-the-vicinity-of-hawaii\/\" title=\"How do you know the pacific plate is moving to the nw in the vicinity of hawaii?\">Pacific Plate is continually moving<\/a> to the northwest over the Hawaiian hot spot.

The US continues to spend billions in subsidies for oil exploration, which helps keep fuel costs artificially low.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-diesel-so-expensive-uk\"><\/span>Why is diesel so expensive UK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Fuel prices have increased sharply because the price for crude oil, which is used to make petrol and diesel, has gone up. Crude oil was cheaper at the beginning of the Covid pandemic, because many businesses temporarily closed and demand for energy collapsed. As life returned to normal, the demand for energy increased.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-fuel-so-expensive-in-australia\"><\/span>Why is fuel so expensive in Australia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Why is fuel so expensive right now? Australian fuel prices follow world prices, explains economics professor John Freebairn, from the University of Melbourne. He notes that world prices have increased as a result of global economic conditions, Russia&#8217;s war in Ukraine, and Australia&#8217;s dollar exchange rate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-petrol-so-expensive-in-south-africa\"><\/span>Why is petrol so expensive in South Africa?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The international oil price pressure leads to higher landed cost for fuel in South Africa. The landed cost in US dollars is converted to rand at the prevailing exchange rate. Any weakness in the rand exchange rate against the US dollar, therefore, results in a higher domestic petrol price.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-food-so-expensive\"><\/span>Why is food so expensive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This stems from pandemic-related meatpacking plant closures, worker shortages and shifting consumer demand, as people have been eating more pork because they&#8217;re making more meals at home, according to Farm Journal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-prices-going-up-2022\"><\/span>Why are prices going up 2022?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic caused a shock to the world economy, disrupting supply chains and contributing to major delays in shipping. Labor shortages and surging consumer demand have only exacerbated this problem. With many items in short supply and the cost of shipping going up, prices are increasing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-chinese-food-so-expensive\"><\/span>Why is Chinese food so expensive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to many restaurant ingredients, many Chinese restaurant operators have had to pay much more to grease the wheels of their business. The cost of cooking oils, a supposedly disposable ingredient needed for many Chinese dishes, has soared in recent years.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-toilet-paper-prices-going-up\"><\/span>Why are toilet paper prices going up?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When there&#8217;s more demand for a product than there is supply, costs often rise. Mills increased the prices of lumber, meaning it cost toilet paper companies more to produce the tissue. These raised prices are passed on to consumers, more often than not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What happens to the volcanic islands that are no longer over the hot spot?
