Hawaiian Islands

Important ore deposits are found in Zaire, Morocco, and Ganada. The U.S. Geological Survey has announced that the bottom of the north central Pacific Ocean may have cobalt-rich deposits at relatively shallow depths in water close to the the Hawaiian Islands and other U.S. Pacific territories. [Pg.83]

The Hawaiian Islands have, arguably, attracted more scientific attention than any other archipelago on the planet. Their unique flora has offered, and continues to offer, a wide spectrum of challenging problems associated with one of the highest... [Pg.249]

Cyperus rotundus L. is a weedy species, native to India, but widely distributed in countries on the Pacific Rim and islands in the Pacific Basin. Commonly referred to as purple nut sedge, it has been known in the Hawaiian Islands since the middle of the nineteenth century. In addition to its weedy nature, the taxon has attracted attention because of the antifebrile activity of its rhizomes. Chemical studies have disclosed the presence of several sesquiterpene derivatives, some of which have been implicated in the plant s medicinal use (cyperene and cyperinerol) (Wagner et ah, 1990, p. 1399). Our interest in this species is the existence of several chemotypes with interesting patterns of occurrence involving Pacific Rim countries and several oceanic islands, including the Hawaiian Islands, islands in the southern Pacific, and the Philippines. [Pg.253]

This metallogenic epoch in and near the Japanese Islands correlates well with Jackson s episode (Masuda, 1984). Jackson s episode means the change in the direction of Pacific plate, which was estimated from the array and age of Hawaiian islands by Jackson etal. (1975) (Fig. 4.8). [Pg.438]

Numerous studies on lavas from the Hawaiian Islands have shown that over the lifespan of a volcano, the major- and trace-element chemistry of the erupted basalts vary significantly and systematically (MacDonald and Katsura 1964 Chen and Frey 1985). This variation is believed to be the result of movement of the Pacific plate, over the... [Pg.240]

As shown in Figure 19.6, vent fields have been confirmed (or inferred) across depths ranging from 200 to 4300 m, with the most lying between 2200 and 2800 m. Very shallow systems are associated with volcanism that has built oceanic crust above sea level, such as near Iceland, the Hawaiian Islands, and the Azores. [Pg.476]

Some ridge sections are underlain by mantle melt anomalies, or hot spots, such as at the Azores and Galapagos Islands. These are marked by the stars in Figure 19.1 and data points 12 and 13 in Figure 19.5. Mantle upwelhng beneath both these ridge sections has abnormally thickened the oceanic crust to at least about 10 km. Most of the 47 known hot spots lie more than 500 km from a ridge axis. The Hawaiian islands are a notable example. [Pg.477]

Comparison of EIA Results between Flesh and Liver Tissues from the Same Species. Table III summarizes the differences in the ciguatoxin activity between flesh and liver from the same fish sample in species of fishes obtained from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Significant differences in the ratios (p <0.05 to <0.01) were shown for all four species examined. In each instance the liver showed a higher ratio, especially in the Bodianus and Caranx species. All of these fishes have been implicated in ciguatera poisoning in Hawaii, especially the Caranx species. [Pg.314]

Only one marine blue-green alga, Lyngbya ma.iuscula. poses any potential public health concern. This filamentous cyanophyte is the causative agent of a severe contact dermatitis that affects several swimmers and bathers using the windward beaches of the Hawaiian Islands during the summer months (1-3). The active... [Pg.369]
