Hawaii Is No Other Than Hawaii

Hawaii has an extremely diverse environment, maybe the most in the world. But how? How did Hawaii get all the species(plants and animals) that we have now. The reason is the three w’s. Seeds and species got to Hawaii through wings, water, and wind. There were a few base species that spread out and diversified into the varied environment we have now. Birds flyed to Hawaii from all over the world. They breeded and created new species, our native birds. A bird would eat a plant in it’s homeland, fly to hawaii, and poop. The poop contained seeds of the plant. The seeds grew into the plants we know today as our native plants. Wind was another important factor in species getting to Hawaii. The seeds would fly across the ocean with the wind and come to land in Hawai’i. Once the wind dropped the seeds on the ground, plants would grow. Most of our native hawaiian animals and plants came here via water tides.

Essentially, the key fact that makes the islands of Hawaii so unique and worthy of studying is that nearly the entire mountain range is built entirely by volcanic activity and each island is the top of an enormous volcanic mountain.

The Overthrow was when the United State troops illegally went on Hawaiian soil and brought 14,000 rounds of ammunition, which resulted in the Hawaii losing control of their country. The U.S minister, Stevens was responsible for illegally surrounding the palace and for threatening to kill the Queen and destroy the palace if not signing a contract to abdicate her from the throne. The overthrow was unjustified because the Annexationists accused Queen Lili‘uokalani of plotting against the government because she wanted to write a new constitution. The reason the Annexationists found out was because the Queen told the cabinet her plan to change the constitution, which resulted in a leak of information.
