Discover the 168-year mystery of the largest volcanoes in Hawaii

Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) have conducted a study to help decipher the mystery of the past 168 years on how to form the largest and most powerful volcanoes in the world at Hawaii.

In 1849, scientists discovered the phenomenon of "twin volcanic chains", but so far there is no explanation for this phenomenon.

According to ANU scientists, volcanoes in Hawaii formed on these two parallel fault lines from over 3 million years before the shift of the Pacific tectonic plate led to the separation of two broken lines. broken. Thereby creating two different volcanic chains instead of a common chain formed along the fault line.

According to scientist Tim Jones, director of the study, this type of geological activity is surprising, because it occurs far from the tectonic plate boundaries, where most volcanoes are discovered. .

Meanwhile, Dr. Rhodri Davies co-authored the study, explaining the cracks like twin volcanoes appear by hot stone columns not in the same direction of the tectonic plates and their activity. move towards the surface of the Earth.

Dr. Davides also predicts in the future, the possibility of this tectonic plate and the thermo-rock pillars mentioned above will re-connect with each other and 2 fracture cracks will "reunite" to become a fracture as before. that.

Scientists believe this new discovery will help scientists reconstruct Earth's history and gain a deeper understanding of a part of the world that has attracted people's imagination for hundreds of years.

The finding also helps explain the origins of Hawaii, the largest and most active volcanic "dormitory" in the world and one of the world's most popular attractions.
