Layers are added on top of each other when both volcanoes (Kilauea and Mauna Loa) produce this type of fiery of mountains and rivers of molten lava. Most volcanoes are found at plate tectonics either spreading centers or subduction zones and a few hot spots and one of them is in Hawaii to this day only two, Kilauea and Mauna Loa are active. Mechanical weathering takes a major role in a chain reaction as ice wedging, rain, plants also acid rain is a big part, it destroys rocks and creates magma from the lava that destroyed anything close to it, this also creates clay in which makes soil and sand to combine and the cracks of the lava and the water that gets to the rock makes a weak acid making the top layer of landforms to break and creating a liquid that burns anything. Although Mauna Loa and Kilauea are still active, erosion has been minimal strength because both of these volcanoes are elevated but because of the amount of erosion activity in the park it forms many landslides occurred on the park and on top of the mountains, making it have steeps dropped into the pacific ocean and since the landslides destroy part of the
