12 Hawaii Stage B
Question 1
0..75 pts
Matching – select the best match between the location
and the volcanic feature (or the basalt flow source).
NOTE: There are a big pool of these questions, and so
the instructions here apply for all of the potential
questions.
You are given geographic coordinates scattered around
the Island of Hawai’i. Use Fast Travel in the
geovisualization to go to that location.
If the location is a volcanic feature that is not a
lava flow (e.g. caldera made by collapse of a volcano into
an emptied magma chamber, crater made by the force of
a volcanic eruption (can also be made by collapse when
there's no lava or cinder surrounding it), cinder
cone made by lava reaching the surface in the form of
pieces called cinder and dropping back down in the shape
of a cone), then the correct match will be the correct name
of the feature and an estimate of the height (e.g. of the
cinder cone) or the depth (e.g. of the caldera) using the
elevation data you see in the geovisualization.
If the location is a basalt lava flow, then the
best match will be the volcano that is the source of the
lava flow. Just follow the lava flow uphill and when you
, can’t see it any more – that’s the source. It will be one of
the five big shield volcanoes.
Correct!

Question 2

You are given four different geographic locations on the
Big Island that display a different aspect of precipitation
variations. Please match the cause of the precipitation
pattern that you see in the geovisualization to the location:
