Roadside Geology of Hawaii, 2nd Edition

Roadside Geology of Hawaii, 2nd Edition Product Description:

This completely revised, full-color second edition of Roadside Geology of Hawaii details the evolution of this volcanic island chain, from its first tumultuous appearance above the sea to ongo-ing eruptions, including the 2018 eruption of Kilauea. Erosional landscapes dominate the older islands, such as Waimea Canyon on Kauai, enormous, rounded rocks at the Garden of the Gods on Lanai, and the highest shoreline cliff in the world on Molokai, the scarp of the Wailau landslide. Volcanoes, cinder cones, and craters dominate the younger islands, from Haleak-ala Volcano on Maui and Diamond Head and Koko Crater on Oahu to the active caldera in the Big Island’s Hawaii Volcanoes Nation-al Park. With this book as your guide, you’ll discover waterfalls, lava tube caves, black sand beach-es, and other world-famous geolog-ic features around every bend in the road.
