Note to others: This documentary was not made by this channel. (Not a complaint!) So the video's assumed ages of islands may be off... (I thought Kauai was roughly 15mil-17mil years old?)
True/ultimate age of the hotspot itself will never be known as the oldest seamounts in the Hawaiian-Emperor chain are being subducted and recycled by the Pacific-Eurasian plate boundary near Kamchatka/Aleutian Islands region... If I remember correctly...The oldest seamounts in that region are up to *75* million years old!... But the HI/Emperor chain has subducted and recycled at that point, into the mantle! And the hotspot existed/formed BEFORE then! However, we can't possibly sample rock/lava hat has been subducted/re-melted before then... But the oldest rocks at that point in the chain date back to roughly 10mil years BEFORE dinosaurs were wiped out!...The hotspot could be up to/just over a hundred million years old.... (Midway Island...Yes the major WWII battle...is part of this chain and geologically speaking, is actually part of Hawaii!...Though I do not remember Geologic-age of Midway Island)
@@brandongray2483 This was from the year 2000 edition as per the end credits in Part 2. The documentary was divided into two files on the DVD so I uploaded them in that format. I just put a link to Part 2 in the description in case you didn't see it. Any info about any of the videos I've uploaded from this company is best found in the end credits. Enjoy!
No such thing as an Dead Volcano. Ever. I live in the Real & True "Volcano State". We have every type here, Super as well. Lava Tubes, As well as Marrs. Only found here.
