Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lavas of Hawaii and Their Relations Whether the earliest eruptions began at many points at about the same time, as J. D. Dana supposed, or whether the oldest center is at the northwest limit of the chain, is a question not entirely settled, it seems to me. The oldest volcanoes known are now represented by islets or mere reefs of basalt rising but a few feet above the sea. Possibly the earliest volcanoes of this chain have wholly disappeared through cataclysmic disturbances or long-continued erosion, such as has greatly reduced the bulk of even the more recent islands.
