The Hawaiian Islands are in a line due to the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle, which creates a chain of volcanic islands as the plate drifts. As the plate moves northwest, new volcanic islands form while older islands erode and subside, resulting in the linear arrangement of the Hawaiian archipelago.

Alaska is the easternmost state in the US. The Aleutian Islands are part of Alaska. Attu is the westernmost island in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. The 180th meridian (the International Date Line) crosses the Aleutian Islands. Attu is on the opposite side of the 180° longitude line and is in the Eastern Hemisphere. Therefore Attu is the easternmost area in the U.S.

1 answer


The Hawaiian Islands are not in a straight line because they were formed by a hot spot in the Earth's mantle that created volcanic activity. As the Pacific tectonic plate moved over the hot spot, each volcano formed a new island. This process resulted in the formation of a chain of islands that are not in a straight line due to the movement of the tectonic plate.

Yes, the International Date Line bends around the Aleutian Islands to keep them in the same day as the rest of Alaska. This deviation ensures that all territories within the United States share the same day.

The line intersects part of Russia (eastern part of Siberia) as well as some some territories and island groups such as Fiji. The 180° longitude line also goes between in New Zealand and its territory Chatham Islands such that New Zealand is in the eastern hemisphere and the Chatham Islands is in the western hemisphere.

Alaska is both the northernmost and the easternmost state in the US. The Aleutian Islands are part of Alaska. Attu is the westernmost island in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. The 180th meridian (the International Date Line) crosses the Aleutian Islands. Attu is on the opposite side of the 180° longitude line and is in the Eastern Hemisphere. Therefore Attu is the easternmost area in the U.S.

The International Date Line generally follows the "anti-meridian" at 180 degrees of longitude. However, it deviates east and west in a very political fashion, to keep most of the islands near the 180 mark in the same day. So around the Aleutian islands of Alaska, the International Date Line cuts way over to the west, to keep all of the Aleutian Islands on the same day.

The islands of the long chain that extends from the Alaska peninsula are the Aleutian Islands. There are many other small islands along the lower coast, in the Bering Sea, and in the Arctic Ocean.

Notable is the island of Little Diomede in the Bering Strait, just 2.4 miles from the Russian island of Big Diomede, to the west across the International Date Line.

The meridian at latitude 180 generally coincides with the International Date Line, but the International Date Line zigs and zags to keep nations within the same day. So for example, the Aleutian Islands stretching westward from Alaska are all on the same "day", even the islands which are in east longitude.

Island arcs are formed by the subduction of an oceanic plate beneath another oceanic plate. The oceanic plate that is subducted beneath the other plate melts as it is pushed down into the mantle and creates a source of magma. The magma rises and forms volcanoes which create the islands of the island arc. The Hawaiian islands are formed by a mantle plume which is roughly in the center of the Pacific plate. The plate is moving across the plume and the islands are being formed in a line as the plate moves. The Hawaiian islands don't count as an island arc because they are formed in a completely different process and because they are roughly in a line, not an arc.
