Dating in Hawaii

Good post. I was worried that I would find advice on what kinds of lei to wear at different events .... We will see if anyone bites, the QUESTION for the YEC crowd especially is to explain (1) the linear formation of the islands and (2) the correlation of distance with K-Ar dating.Specifically the question is how does one {explain\conceive} any arrangement that produces both results with that degree of precision.Good luck.

reef corals (best known type) are a symbiotic relationship and need sunlight for the photosynthesis. too deep and no sunlight.see http://www.coris.noaa.gov/about/biology/biology.htmlsee also link to deep water corals.

yes. I thought that loudmouth was perhaps a little careless with the numbers, or the species specific relationships (some more some less susceptible?)the point however is that structure is observed around the subsided sea mounts that was built by light using coral animals and which are now dead due to the depths of subsistence.

indeed it does happen. I know I have done it, and fairly recently too. had to look up guyot, and now am more confused ...one source says "A flat-topped submarine mountain" and another says "a seamount of volcanic origin (especially in the Pacific Ocean)"now it is possible to be both of these or either one and not the other ...

thanks. I also went to wikipedia, which pretty much says it is both.Guyot - Wikipedia and
Hawaiian—Emperor seamount chain - Wikipediawhich lead me to external link
Hawaii Center for Volcanology | Formation of the Hawaiian Islandswhich has the graph in the OP.ps - my 'confusion' was a little tongue in cheek and concerned more with the disagreement in the definitions than in the concepts.This message has been edited by RAZD, 01-11-2005 21:10 AM
