Abstract

The carbonic acid produced by the microbial oxidation of organic matter is the most important chemical weathering agent of the Hawaiian basaltic rocks. The total denudation rate of the Hawaiian Islands ranges from 11 to 50 mg/cm2 /yr (or 0.04-0.19 mm/yr), The island of Hawaii has the lowest denudation rate among the Hawaiian Islands.
