Other Patterns
Not all Hawaiian volcanoes go through all of these stages of activity. An example is Koʻolau volcano on Oʻahu, which was prehistorically devastated by a cataclysmic landslide, never underwent the postshield stage and went dormant for hundreds of thousands of years after the shield stage before coming back to life. Some volcanoes never made it above sea level; there is no evidence to suggest that West Molokaʻi ever went through the rejuvenated stage, while its younger neighbors, East Molokaʻi and West Maui, have evidently done so.

“For the man who should loose me is dead,
Fighting with the Duke in Flanders,
In a pattern called a war.
Christ! What are patterns for?”
