Are the tops of the volcanos in Hawaii snow-covered?

you get frostbites in very cold areas, practically below zero deg celsius.  if the "cooled" lava rock is somewhere in arctic or antarctica (where volcanoes do exist), then it's possible

It has eight main islands, which are the tops of a chain of submerged volcanic mountains; active volcanoes: Mauna Loa, Kilauea.

On Oahu, there are the Ko'olaus and Waianaes ranges, both topping out around 3K feet.  There is Haleakala Mountain (11K) and the West Maui Mountains (3K) on Maui.  On the Big Island, there is Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa (both 13K), Hualalai (8K), Kilauea and the Kohala Mountains (both around 4K).  On Kauai, there is Mount Wai'ale'ale (3K).  Lanai and Molokai have high points, but I don't know them.

Currently there are over five thousand active volcanoes underwater varying from ones larger than any on the surface to cones no larger than an automobile. The net reslut of this action is thermal heating of the oceans, at key positions, which in turn reaches the surfaceto be carried aloft into the atmosphere to become part of our surface weather pattern system. As the oceans are heated winds of a high velocity are created and driven over the land areas due to temperature differential. \n\nIn the Pacific Ocean there are ocean basins - volcanoes, of which there are estimated to be about 20,000 on the ocean bottoms of the world. Some of these form single mountains, and others join with other volcanoes to form ridges. The highest ones rise above the surface of the water as islands, which in many cases linear groups such as the Hawaiian Islands. \n\nIsland groups are simply the highest summits of ridges. The submerged part of the Hawaiian Islands is among the largest and longest of these volcanic ridges--more than 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) long. \n\nMany island groups of the Pacific are linear in form, with the largest and highest island of the group at one end and the lowest and smallest at the other. This feature is true of the Hawaiian Islands, explained as the result of intermittent movement of the tectonic plate over what is called a hot spot. \n\nMolten volcanic material is ejected from it and results in the formation of a large mass of material if the plate pauses for a sufficient length of time at the spot. In this way a volcanic island, or ridge, is built. The plate moves, and another part of it lies over the hot spot, receiving fresh volcanic material. Meanwhile the older material, if it has become an island, is subject to erosion and thus is worn down.

Mt. Everest is not a volcano.\n\nAs for an explanation, well, it is just not.  It doesn't spew lava, it has never spewed lava, and it is not ever expected to spew lava.

lol Sam.\nbut he is right.\nyou can do nothing when a volcano erupts.\njust ask the people of Hawaii. they have learned to respect their fiery creator of their islands

Yes , It is covered in snow\nThe South pole is in dh continent of Antarctica so definately it will hav snow\nBoth the poles of the Earth R having snow

heh... are you referring to ecological endangered hotspots or hot spots under plates that cause volcanic activity?\n\nThere are... way to many ecological hot spots particularly in tropical areas in South America, Africa and South Asia.\n\nAs for hot spots associated with plate tectonics, there are many I'm sure but the Hawaiian Island chain is probably the biggest and longest.  Yellowstone wouldn't be a hot spot really, it's pretty close to a plate boundary and it's activity I would think is left over from this.  Hot spots are unusual for continental plates.  It seems like many island chains could have been formed by similar hot spots under ocean plates though.

A stratovolcano is a tall, conical volcano composed of many layers of hardened lava, tephra, and volcanic ash. These volcanoes are characterized by a steep profile and periodic, explosive eruptions. The lava that flows from them is highly viscous, and cools and hardens before spreading very far. The source magma of this rock is classified as acidic, or high in silica to intermediate (rhyolite, dacite, or andesite. or basalt). This is in contrast to less viscous basic magma that forms shield volcanoes (such as Mauna Loa in Hawaii), which have a wide base and more gently sloping profile. Many stratovolcanoes exceed a height of 2500 m.\n\nStratovolcanoes are a by-product of the subduction of tectonic plates. The source melts of these volcanoes arise as a result of the dewatering of oceanic crust at specific pressure/temperature conditions as the plate subducts to lower depths. The water freed from the subducting slab allows partial melting of the overlying mantle rock, which rises due to its lower density relative to the surrounding mantle rock, and pools at the base of the crust. The melt is initially basic in composition. As it rises through the crust, it incorporates more acidic adjacent crustal rock, leading to a final intermediate composition. The water remains in the melt and upon eruption contributes to the explosive power of these volcanoes as superheated steam.\n\nAlthough stratovolcanoes are sometimes called composite volcanoes, volcanologists prefer to use the term stratovolcano to distinguish among volcanoes because all volcanoes of any size have a composite (layered) structure — that is, are built up from sequential outpourings of eruptive materials.
