Black beach in Hawaii, what is the reason?

Question

Because of a fish I think?

Answer 1

If you're talking about black sand (not an oil spill or algae), then that sand was formed from eroded lava and pumice. That's common on volcanic islands.

Answer 2

well it is simple.We all know Hawaii sits on a hotspot, a place where a plume of magma from deep within the earth rises to feed the volcanoes on the active island, in this case the volcano is Kilauea and it's parasitic and cinder cones upon the shield volcanoe's flanks and huge caldera. when there is a lava flow, it makes it's way towards the sea,and when this lava eventually hits the sea, the cold waves cool down the lava so rapidly that they shatter into little black pyroclastic crysts and debris. this reaction when lava meets water is scientifically known as a phreatomagmatic reaction.

Answer 3

The black beaches on the island of Hawaii are formed when lava flow reaches the sea. The lava literally "explodes" and turns into sand--the pictures of it are incredible. The only active volcano is on that island; there are very few black beaches left on other islands.

Answer 4

Black dissipates heat more quickly than any color. Notice I said "than any color" as black and white are not colors but the extreme ends of the absence of color. So a black house makes sense although a black car heats quicker than any other and a black roof does the same, when the sun goes down - quick cooling at minimal cost seems to be the goal.

Answer 5

If its all wet and sloppy and all the fish are dead then...
Its an oil spill.
