3. Explain in your own words why the Cave in Eua is called ‘Ana ‘Ahu - the Smoking Cave. 

→ ‘Ana ‘Ahu is a smoking cave. It is like a sinkhole once you drop something like a rock down there you can never hear it reach the bottom. I don’t think anyone has ever explored the bottomless cave.

6. Ha’apai is made up of around 60 uninhabited islands. Explain why many people wouldn’t live on these islands?

7. Explain what the difference is between natural and man-made landmarks.

→ I am pretty sure nature just covers Earth with its nature and man made will find things to make stuff and use it.
