The West Maui Mountains or West Maui Volcano, known to the Hawaiians as Maui Komohana〔(A cultural-historical study of Ka'eo and other lands in Honua'ula, Island of Maui ), KPA No. MaKaeo110〕 and to geologists as Mauna Kahalawai, forms a much eroded shield volcano that constitutes the western one-quarter of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. Since its last eruption approximately 320,000 years ago, the West Maui Mountains have undergone substantial stream erosion.〔 The three ''moku'' or districts of west Maui are Lāhaina, Kāanapali, and Wailuku.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Native Hawaiian Land Division )〕 Wailuku is also known as Pūalikomohana, or Nā Wai Ehā which means the four waters. The 4 waters are the ahupuaa (smaller land division than district), which are Waikapū, Wailuku, Waiehu, and Waihee. The port of Lāhainā lies on the southwestern slope. The summit peak is called Puu Kukui, at elevation. Pu'u Kukui translates into "candlenut hill". == Puu Kukui Watershed Preserve == Established in 1988, the Puu Kukui Preserve is the largest private nature preserve in the State of Hawaii. Since 1994, the preserve has been managed by Maui Land & Pineapple Company in participation with The Nature Conservancy and the State Natural Area Partnership. These groups work together to protect the watershed lands of the West Maui mountain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「West Maui Mountains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
