Amazing.

Its weird looking at Hawaii and how there seems to be a thousand km ridge which Hawaii sits on deflecting wind - what gives?

If it is higher land elevation below the water, shouldn't it have no impact on the wind? Or would if create some sort of weird additional resistance to the wind from the friction between the wind and the water and then the water and the higher land mass below it?

This is the correct thread for these questions - right?
