is Kauai The oldest Hawaiian island?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Magma spewing from a hot spot beneath the floating Pacific Tectonic Plate formed Kauai as it did the other islands in the chain. Kauai is the oldest of the Hawai&#39;ian islands and it is believed the volcano that created Kauai first began erupting some 10 million years ago.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-kauai-older-than-maui\"><\/span>Why is Kauai older than Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Explanation: You can answer that question yourself with the information that the Pacific Tectonic Plate is slowly moving to the North-West and the hotspot that creates the volcanos under the Hawaiian Islands is stationary. This is why the younger Hawaiian Islands are to the South-East of the older Hawaiian Islands.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-kauai-the-oldest-island-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Is Kauai The oldest island in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Each Hawaiian island is unique in nature due to its specific age in geologic time. Kauai is the oldest of the eight main islands. Wave action, wind and water erosion have carved once cone shaped volcanoes into what Kauai is today, the lush green Garden Isle.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-age-difference-between-kauai-and-maui\"><\/span>What is the age difference between Kauai and Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Hawaiian islands formed as the Pacific Ocean floor moved over an underlying hot spot in the earth, shown here by a dotted circle.

The main islands are positioned in order of age, from oldest to youngest, from northwest to southeast. Kauai is approximately 5.1 million years old, followed by Oahu at 2.2 to 3.4 million years old.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-old-is-kauai\"><\/span>How old is Kauai?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>About 5 million years ago<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-second-oldest-hawaiian-island\"><\/span>What is the second oldest Hawaiian island?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ni&#39;ihau is the second oldest Hawaiian island and was formed about 4.9 million years ago.

The Big Island is called just that because it is almost twice the size of all the other islands put together.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when-was-kauai-formed\"><\/span>When was Kauai formed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Approximately five million years old<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-niihau-older-than-kauai\"><\/span>Is Niihau older than Kauai?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The island is about 6 million years old, making it geologically older than the 5.8-million-year-old neighboring island of Kaua\u02bbi to the northeast.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when-was-maui-founded\"><\/span>When was Maui founded?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It was created by two volcanoes, Puu Kukui and Haleakala, which constitute east and west peninsulas connected by a 7-mile- (11-km-) wide valleylike isthmus that has earned Maui the nickname of the \u201cvalley isle.\u201d The island was first settled by Polynesians c. ad 700.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-was-maui-called-before\"><\/span>What was Maui called before?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Referred to as Ihikapalaumaewa and the Valley Isle by various visitors, Maui was first officially sighted in 1778 by British explorer, Captain James Cook.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-long-has-maui-been-inhabited\"><\/span>How long has Maui been inhabited?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Early settlement. Polynesians settled the island of Maui in at least three gradual waves; the earliest possibly from the Marquesas sometime before 450 AD., then others from the Marquesas about 450 AD., and lastly settlers from Tahiti from 700 AD.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"was-maui-once-two-islands\"><\/span>Was Maui once two islands?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It was one big island referred to as Maui Nui, meaning Big Maui. There was a mini ice age at this time which caused the sea level to drop. As the islands eroded and the sea level rose, Maui Nui became what is now four separate islands. The ocean channels between these four islands are relatively shallow.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-old-is-the-island-of-hawaii\"><\/span>How old is the island of Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Even though some of the volcanoes are possibly older, the island as a whole is somewhere between 400,000 and 800,000 years old. By comparison, the oldest major island in Hawaii is Kauai, which is almost six million years old. The last volcanic activity on Kauai ended about four million years ago.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-oldest-city-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What is the oldest city in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hilo<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-hawaii-slowly-sinking\"><\/span>Is Hawaii slowly sinking?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Slowly, slowly, the Big Island of Hawaii is sinking toward its doom. From its palm-fringed beaches to the summit of Mauna Kea, 13,796 feet high, nothing will remain of that volcanic island but a small, stony lump on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in the far northwest, thousands of miles from where it stands today.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"which-island-is-the-youngest\"><\/span>Which island is the youngest?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Surtsey on November 30, 1963, 16 days after the beginning of the eruption.

Loihi already has risen about 3 km above the ocean floor to within 1 km of the ocean surface. According to the hotspot theory, assuming Loihi continues to grow, it will become the next island in the Hawaiian chain.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"was-hawaii-formed-by-a-volcano\"><\/span>Was Hawaii formed by a volcano?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Hawaiian Islands were formed by volcanic activity. The Hawaiian Emperor seamount chain is a well-known example of a large seamount and island chain created by hot-spot volcanism.
