Name the three active volcanoes on the Big Island.
The Big Island is built from five volcanoes, three of which are active, one (Kohala) is extinct, and one (Mauna Kea) is dormant.

Because of this ongoing volcanic activity, the Big Island is still growing. Between 1983 and 2002, more than 500 acres were added to the island.

Lava flows destroyed the town of Kapoho in 1960 and Kalapana and Kaimu in 1990. In 1987, lava filled in Queen's Bath, a large freshwater pool near Kalapana.
