    Hawaii is the southernmost and largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago. It has two active volcanoes, Mauna Loa and Kilauea, which have contributed to its growth. The island experiences frequent volcanic eruptions that create new land and unique geological features like lava tubes, pahoehoe lava, and aa lava. Tourism is an important industry on Hawaii thanks to its volcanic scenery, tropical climate, and natural beauty.

    The cooling lava has a

    It’s called pahoehoe.

    This lava is rough and

    This has led to the creation of the Hawaiian

    It already has a name!

    of this ancient Hawaiian heiau (temple).

    •Killing somebody
    •stealing fish from the
    chief’s fishpond
    • letting your head get
    higher than the chief’s
    head
    •Letting your shadow
    cross the chief’s shadow
    You were killed.
    Unless . . .
    You made it to
    the city of

    If you stayed
    in it for a

    (3 weeks?)

    Your crime was completely pardoned.
