You can go watching but you will not see any whales here, sorry. Try California.

Houston isn't really on the shore. There is the ship channel, but nothing really can live there. There aren't really any whales in the Gulf either. However, you can go on dolphin cruises out of nearby Galveston.

Comment on Will volcanos destroy the Hawaiian Islands or will the islands sink? by pink sapphires

I don’t see how any islands can sink or be destroyed, least of all by volcanoes!

Firstly, you must understand that the existence of volcanoes on the Hawaiian Islands can best be explained by the "hotspot" theory. A hotspot is assumed to be a plume of magma underneath the earth’s crust. They do not lie on any specific plate boundaries. Anyway, when there is a gap in the earth’s crust, magma from the hotspots rise up and form volcanoes. The hotspots are fixed, so when the plates continually move, the volcanoes formed on the surface of the earth go extinct as well since there is essentially no more "fire" helping to fuel them. So if this is what you mean by destroyed, then yes, the volcanoes are sort of destroyed without the hotspots.

And islands don’t sink. They are made of hardened and cooled lava which comes from the asthenosphere, the upper layer of magma beneath the earth’s crust. So unless they are ripped apart by divergent forces, I don’t really think they can sink…

Comment on I’m not a big hiker, is the Diamond Head worth it? by Mike

Mike — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 06:47:59 +0000

There is a lot to see on Oahu, but I would put Diamond head near the top of the list.

The view from the top is worth the trip! Somebody else said to bring water and wear good walking shoes – good ideas. Take a little flashlight too; you will pass through some little tunnels.

You don’t have to race to the top thought; there is a lot to see on your way up. Take your time and enjoy the sights.
