The volume from an eroded island is still there, it's just flattened below sea level, ultimately down to a wider base at the sea floor.

- RajT88 4y agoMy wife and I go to Hawaii some winters to celebrate our anniversary (it was our honeymoon spot, of course it was). We've taken a few tours there to learn about the place. What I recall from those tours is that the islands are all slowly sinking. Indeed Big Island is the biggest because it's the newest - the older ones are smaller because they have had more time to sink / erode.
