Of all the Hawaiian Islands, it is the 3rd largest one. It is home to nearly 3-quarters of the state’s population.
Oahu is said to have originated in a single ‘hot spot’ in the earth’s crust. Then over millions and hundreds of years, the earth’s mantle slowly moved to the northwest of this hot spot, which created each island. For Oahu’s timeline, it is said that the island is about 4 million years old, and was created by two extinct volcanoes, known as Ko’olau and Wai’anae mountain ranges.

Rainfall, on the other hand, averages for about 20-25 inches a year.
