Island formation
Island formation. Computer illustration showing the process of island formation in the Hawaii island chain, USA. The chain was formed by molten rock (magma) erupted from volcanoes as the Pacific Plate of the Earths crust slowly moves over a hot spot in the molten mantle below it. The arrow indicates the direction of movement. Big Island (green), the largest island in the chain, is at upper right. The plates movement means that magma (bottom right) is now also being erupted from the submarine volcano Loihi Seamount. Loihi may one day rise above the waters surface to become the ninth main Hawaiian Island

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing process of island formation in the renowned Hawaii island chain, located in the United States. Through a stunning computer illustration, we witness how molten rock, known as magma, erupts from volcanoes as the Pacific Plate gradually moves over a hot spot within the Earth's crust. The arrow thoughtfully indicates the direction of this movement. At the upper right corner lies Big Island, adorned with lush greenery and standing proudly as the largest island within this magnificent chain. However, what makes this image even more intriguing is that it reveals an ongoing transformation beneath its surface. As a result of plate movement, magma is now being erupted from Loihi Seamount—a submarine volcano situated at bottom right—hinting at its potential to rise above water one day and become Hawaii's ninth main island. The artwork not only captures nature's awe-inspiring beauty but also serves as a reminder of our planet's dynamic geological processes. It highlights how these forces shape our environment and create breathtaking landscapes like those found in Hawaii. This remarkable depiction by Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate both the artistic representation and scientific significance behind island formation—an everlasting testament to Earth's ever-evolving geography.
