Default Why Pacific Islands Disappear

This is dedicated to Palsing, who is under the misguided conception that
Pacific Islands disappear because of rising sea levels. I would like to set
this misconception straight.
It appears that you have never read James Michener's book "Hawaii" ( I read
it once in the 80s and then again last year). If you had, you would
understand the real cause and I wouldn't have to write this.
Go to Google Maps and scroll to the North Pacific. Then Click on Satellite
Vew. You should see present day Hawaii and a whole string of mostly
submerged islands stretching to the North-West. You see, there is a "Hot
Spot" right under Hawaii, which is in the Earth's mantle and is stationary.
The Earth's crust, in this instance in the form of the Pacific Plate, very
slowly moves over the hot spot, towards Japan. The speed of the movement is
about as fast as your finger nails grow. As the plate crosses over the hot
spot, magma wells up, creates volcanoes, which eventually break the water's
surface and form islands, like Hawaii and other other 4 or 5 tourist traps.
As the Pacific plate moves over the hot spot at glacial speed, the volcanic
activity slows and eventually ceases entirely. The islands continue to
drift to the North West and wind and water erosion begin to take their toll.
They slowly shrink, turn into atolls Midway being an example of a bigger
island that is still inhabitable in atoll form, and eventually subside below
the Pacific surface. You can follow the trail on the Google Maps Satellite
View. The facts don't lie. In a million years present day Hawaii will be a
distant memory, but a batch of new volcanic islands will have taken its
place, with similar flora and fauna as well as boat loads of tourists.
I say boatloads, because the communist/socialist regime of the US will have
banned all air travel and I guess the tourists are required to row the boat
across the Pacific.
Please don't thank me for posting this ... after all, it's "Educate a Dummy"

Everything you claim here is correct... but the islands I referred to in the other post are not in the Hawaiian chain, which moves to the northwest, but are rather well southwest of Hawaii and are not suffering the same fate and are being overcome by rising ocean levels, just as previously shown.

You are really crappy at doing research, aren't you,,,

*** I had hoped that I didn't have to spell this out for you, Palsing, but
alas ... I hoped you'd could figure out for yourself that the Earth's many
tectonic plated don't all move in the same direction. I had furthermore
hoped that you would go to those crappy little islands of your previous
post, use the same Google Earth/Satellite View and see if there is a trail
of already submerged islands ... but then, by your own admission, you
operate on half a brain ...
I should have expected the usual "deer in the headlights" expression from
you ...

You can spell things out until the cows come home, but why would anyone just take your word for it?

I gave you several links, all of which showed that islands in the Pacific Ocean are disappearing beneath the waves and that rising sea levels were to blame.

If you choose not to believe these articles, well, go find your own evidence to the contrary, and present it. Unless and until you can show valid reasons why these articles are incorrect, I will simply claim that you are wrong. Your word alone and $5 only gets you a cup of coffee at Starbucks,

Your call.

Who cares about millions of years.
When we all know the earth will be gone in less than 12 years.

UN & AOC said so, and it's on the internet, so it must be true.
