Easter Island- Rapa Nui A Brief Background

Stone Statues

Location- One of the most isolated places on Earth

Climate Subtropical, 50 inches rainfall per annum, 66 Sq Miles

Topography- Rano Raraku Volcano

History: Settled by Polynesians around 900 AD Because of the southerly latitude (27 degrees S) causing a cooler climate, many Polynesian crops did not grow. Colder water- no coral reefs- not as much seafood available

COLLAPSE! The once thriving societies on Rapa Nui eventually collapsed. How? Why? You will all be researching how this terrible event happened. In groups you will be forming “Theories” about what happened and how. What is a theory?
