Geographical environment:

Hawaii is located in the North Pacific Ocean, all volcanic islands, and it is the only state composed of islands. It has 132 islands, and it is a high volcanic cone at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, exposed to the sea. Large cracks appeared on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and lava flowed out, forming a tall volcano with many craters and peaks. Some peaks emerged from the sea and became islands. It extends as long as 1500 miles (about 2400 kilometers) in the Pacific Ocean. These islands were formed by volcanic eruption a long time ago. Most of them were washed away by the ocean for a long time and became very small, leaving only eight big islands. These islands are more than 2,000 miles (about 3,200 kilometers) from California.

Hawaii is located about 3846 kilometers southwest of California. These islands extend from northwest to southeast, about 245 1 km long. The eight main islands in Hawaii are Nihao, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, Kahoolawei and Hawaii. The total area of these eight islands is about 16760 square kilometers. The other 124 islands in the state are small uninhabited atolls. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by volcanic movement. In fact, these islands are the top of a large mountain range in the deep sea. The interior of all islands is high mountains, while the topography of coastal areas is rugged cliffs or beaches.

Mauna Loa and Gila are active volcanoes, both located on the island of Hawaii. Lava from these volcanoes is poured into the sea. Lava cools in the sea, the lava becomes hard, and the island gradually becomes bigger.

Climate:

Although Hawaii is located in the tropics, its climate is mild. The temperature in this state is quite moderate because of the sea breeze from the northeast. Because it is close to the equator, Hawaii has the same length of day and night all year round. When the seasons alternate, the temperature changes are very fixed. The temperature in lowlands is between 2 1 and 29℃ all the year round. It can be very cold in mountainous areas, especially in winter. On Mount Monaque, the highest mountain in Hawaii, there is enough snow for people to ski in winter.

Hawaii has a tropical climate. This makes the United States have cold (Alaska), warm (48 states in the continental United States) and hot (Hawaiian Islands) territories.

The climate of the islands belongs to regression type, because it is located near the Tropic of Cancer and influenced by the northeast trade wind, with rainy windward slopes and less rainy leeward slopes.

The first tribes that occupied Hawaii arrived in the Hawaiian Islands from Maxas Island (Cael, Sass Island) in about 500~700 A.D. and flourished here. Four hundred years later, immigrants from Tahiti, 2500 miles away, led by the stars, the sun and migratory birds, came to Hawaii to conquer and integrate the first immigrant tribes. Ancient Hawaiians followed a strict social class system. The chiefs of various tribes rule the whole island with absolute power. The civilian class is committed to producing all kinds of food and commodities needed to maintain society. This rural life lasted for centuries until it was invaded by external forces at the end of the eighteenth century.

Captain james cook led the British ship "Determination" to reach Echo Island in June 1778. Nine months later, he returned to the Makahiai Festival and arrived on the big island of Hawaii. The islanders believe that this white man is the reincarnation of the god they believe in and worship him. In order to get back the stolen goods, Captain Cook clashed with the nomadic people on the island and killed an aboriginal. Cook got his revenge and lost his life. After the death of Captain Cook, a young man named Kamehameha assembled an army, conquered all the hostile leaders and unified Hawaii. 1795 established the first monarchy and became the first king. Later generations praised him as the greatest hero in Hawaii.

The last ruler of Hawaii was Li Lu Carani, who handed over power peacefully in 1983, and led Hawaii into the stage of * * * and political system in 1984. Five years later, Hawaii became a part of American territory. Hawaii, as a dependency of the United States, is governed by the Constitution and laws of the United States and is managed by the 65,438+02 deacon appointed by the federal government of the United States. It was not until 1959 that Hawaii officially became the fiftieth state of the United States. Nowadays, Hawaii's multicultural lifestyle has completely lost its original flavor, and only Aloha spirit will always exist in the hearts of all Hawaiians.
