At a hotspot‚ the limited magma plumes rise and go in a circular motion due to the convection currents‚ this eventually lead to the plumes rising up through the mantle and break through the oceanic crust. Over a long period of time‚ the on-going movement of the plate i.e. Pacific plate and the stationary hotspot forms an chain of many volcanoes such as the Hawaiian Chain‚ where Hawaii being the youngest island currently formed.

precipitation in the tropics The meeting of warm and humid air at the inter tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) from both hemispheres brought by trade winds and the subsequent rise of the air (convection) in the atmosphere. Near the equator‚ from about 5° north and 5° south‚ the northeast trade winds and southeast trade winds converge in a low pressure zone known is as the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ. Solar heating in the region forces air to rise through convection which results

Harmonisation of accounting standards International accounting harmonisation can be defined as "the process of bringing international Accounting Standards into some sort of agreement so that the financial statements from different countries are prepared according to a common set of principles of measurement and disclosure".
