It is for an AP environmental class. I have made a hypothesis about this 
question but I can't seem to find an answer. Can you help me? Any info 
would be of help. I thought maybe the volcanic activity and how much closer 
Hawaii is to the equator are factors or how much heat the sun focuses in 
each point. Are any of these ideas close? Please help me!
