Extractions: Hawaii - Geography and Location The state of Hawaii is made up of a group of volcanic islands. It is located in the central Pacific Ocean. The eight major islands from west to east are: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui and Hawaii. Mauna Loa and Kilauea on the island of Hawaii are still active volcanoes. The highest mountains are Mauna Kea (13,796 ft.) and Mauna Loa (13,677 ft.) above sea level. There are many cliffs, caves, deep valleys and small streams. The climate of Hawaii is temperate. The average temperature in Hawaii is 72 degrees, although mountainous regions can be much cooler. Winter snows are frequent on the mountain tops. Rainfall on the island varies dramatically. Mt. Waialeale, on the island of Kauai, is sometimes called the wettest spot on earth, because it has an annual rainfall of 486 inches. The driest spot in the islands is Puako, where the average rainfall is only 9 inches. Home Plants and Animals History Culture ... Sources

Extractions: Location / Lage The extension of the Cook Islands in the South Pacific is from nine degrees south of the equator to the Tropic of Capricorn. Samoa and Tonga flank the Cook Is. to the west and French Polynesia to the east. The Cook Islands have a total land area of 240 sq km. They are devided into the northern group and the southern group. Rarotonga, the largest island, has 67 sq km and is located in the southern group. It's also center of economy and administration. In 1994 the Cook Is. had 19,000 inhabitants. About 11,000 live in Rarotonga. The Cook Islanders live in a 'free association' with New Zealand. English and Maori are spoken on the islands. Currency The currency of the Cook Islands is the New Zealand Dollar with own additional coins and banknotes like the 3 $ note you see here. The front of the 3 $ banknote of the Cook Islands shows an outrigger which is a typical type of boots for Polynesia. The outrigger is paralel to the hull of the boat connected with two or more cross-beams. That way the boat gets more stability and it was possible for the Polynesian people to sail on the Pacific Ocean. On the back you see the young Ina who is brought by a shark to the island Mangaia Economy / Wirtschaft 1992 Cook Islands had a revenue of 53 Million NZ$ from tourism. 1991 the country imported goods for 94.5 Million NZ$ and exported goods for 9.4 Million NZ$. The main products for export are agricultural goods like papayas, coconuts and other tropical fruits.

Extractions: Polynesien Location / Lage P olynesia is part of the huge world of islands of Oceania between Indonesia/Australia and America. Geographically Oceania is devided into three different cultural regions: Melanesia, the black islands, Micronesia, the small islands and Polynesia, the many islands. P T he area east of Micronesia and Melanesia is called the "Polynesian Triangle". The Hawai'ian Islands (USA) in the north, New Zealand in the west and Rapa Nui/Easter Island (Chile) in the east form the angles of this triangle. The Fiji Islands are situated at the transition zone between Polynesia and Melanesia. D Genesis of the Pacific Islands / Enstehung der pazifischen Inseln T he geological young Pacific Islands were built by volcanoes erupting molten rock from magma reservoirs at depth under the ocean at many places. Lava flowed into the sea and set, formed high mountains and with it many islands of Polynesia like the Hawai'ian Islands or Tahiti. D L ater some of these volcanoes subsided in the ocean basin again. If there were coral reefs attached to the island shores they continued building upward as the island subsided. When the island sank out of sight the reef persisted. These forms with circular coral reefs enclosing a lagoon are the atolls we associate the paradise with.

Extractions: DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY Geography is an integrative discipline that strives to link three overlapping domains - the environmental, the human and the technological, to understand humans as inhabitants and transformers of the earth. It has roots in both the physical and the social sciences. An overriding spatial perspective is reflected in such integrative concepts as place, region, landscapes and seascapes, human and physical systems. The search for such understanding involves a thorough study of (a) interlocking systems of the natural environment (climate, landforms, oceans, biota); (b) the social use (and abuse) of natural resources; (c) the diverse historical, cultural, social, economic, and political structures and processes which affect the spatial organization of population groups and their activities; and (d) areas of the earth's surface at various scales-cities, regions, nations, states or landscapes where integrated interpretation of cultural, economic and political processes can be attempted. Faculty interests and strengths of the University and the East West Center provide advantages for study of the following general topics: natural systems nature and society population, urbanization and regional development

Extractions: Volcanic activity has become dormant, with the exception of the volcanoes of Mauna Loa and Kilauea on the easternmost and largest island, Hawaii, where spectacular eruptions and lava flows take place from time to time. The highest Hawaiian mountains are Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, reaching 13,796 feet (4,205 m) and 13,678 feet (4,169 m) above sea level, respectively. There is little erosion in the geologically young areas, where the terrain is domelike and the volcanic craters are clearly defined. In the older areas the mountains have been shaped and eroded by the action of sea, rain, and wind. Their aspects thus include sharp and craggy silhouettes; abrupt, vertically grooved cliffs pocked with caves; deep valleys; collapsed craters (calderas); and coastal plains.

Extractions: Kauai is situated NW of Oahu (separated from Oahu to the southeast by the Kauai Channel). This northernmost and geologically the oldest of the major Hawaiian Islands is also the most verdant and is known as the Garden Isle. Kauai county embraces nearby Niihau Island (73 square miles) and the tiny uninhabited islets of Kaula and Lehua. Fire-born Hawaiian Islands - Molten lava spewed out for about two million years forming an enormous underwater mountain and finally rising 3 miles from the ocean floor. For seven and a half million years, these volcanic eruptions continued - until the island of Kauai, circular in shape and roughly 550 square miles, was born. The highest mountain, Kawaikini Peak, rises to 5,243 ft. (1,598 m) above sea level, closely followed by Mt. Waialeale 5,080 ft. (1,548 m) as the second tallest peak. The northeastern slopes of Waialeale, one of the wettest spots on earth, receive an annual average rainfall of 450 in. (1,143 cm). This high annual rainfall has eroded deep valleys in Kauai's central mountain mass and formed spectacular canyons. Waimea Canyon, the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" is almost 10 miles (about 16 km) long and more than 0.5 miles (0.8 km) deep. The seeds of most plant species were carried to Kauai by birds, winds, or currents and tides, bringing about extensive forestation, shrubbery, and grasslands, where soil and precipitation were favorable. Since the first Polynesian settlement a tremendous variety of food and ornamental plant life from many parts of the world has been introduced.
