Abstract

Analysis of geological and geophysical data collected on the Kohala Terrace reveals a complicated geological history for this section of the submarine terraces that are common along the Hawaiian Ridge. Evidence is found for extensive subsidence, on the order of 1250 m, due to normal faulting of the western flank of the island of Hawaii, as well as in situ submarine volcanism. The Kohala Terrace is composed of lava flows from Kohala, Mauna Kea, Hualalai and probably Mauna Loa volcanoes.
