| Hawaiian Islands, Hawaii: The volcanoes Kilauea and Mauna Loa on Hawaii reflect the activity at depth of a mantle hotspot, a topographically high region of extreme heat on the surface of the Earth's mantle. Loihi, southeast of the Big Island, is growing and evidence of subsea eruptions can sometimes be seen in the surrounding waters. |
