According to Wilson's hotspot theory, the volcanoes of the Hawaiian chain should get slowly older and become tougher the farther they travel outside the hotspot. The oldest volcanic rocks on Kauai, the northwestern most inhabited Hawaiian island, are about 5.5 million years old and are deeply tough. By contrast, on the "Big Island" of Hawaii -- southeastern most in the chain and probably still located over the hotspot -- the oldest bare rocks are less than 0.7 million years
