Put the following Hawaiian Islands in order from youngest to oldest?

Question

Laysan Island

Kure Atoll

La Perouse Pinnacle

Midway Islands

Answer 1

While Scott L's answer is factually correct - it really doesn't answer your question.  In order to know which of these islands is the youngest, you would have to know the Hawaiian Island chain intimately enough to know where each of these islands is relative to the other - which is pretty specific knowledge.  (I lived in Hawaii for a year and could not answer this question without going to a map to confirm my answer.)

Youngest - La Perouse Pinnacle (part of French Frigate Shoals)

Older - Laysan

Older - Midway

Oldest - Kure Atoll

Answer 2

Just order them from southeast to northwest and you will have them in order youngest-oldest.
