Morphology

Hawaii + volcano + national + park

The name is fully compositional: 'Hawaii' (place) + 'volcanoes' (geological features) + 'national park' (protected area), so a learner who knows those words can infer it denotes a nationally designated park in Hawaii notable for volcanoes. This descriptive toponym follows standard noun composition and is cross-linguistically transparent, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.

Etymology

The name Hawaii Volcanoes National Park comes from a simple idea: it is a national park in Hawaii that protects and shows active volcanoes like Kīlauea and Mauna Loa. So the name tells you it is a park where you can see and learn about 'volcanoes' and the special plants and animals that live there.
