Best Answer

The creation of the Hawaiian Island Chain is the result of slow passage of a geological plate over a "hot spot" below the plate that pushes heated magma up through cracks. The older islands are those farther west, and the younger are those farther east, in order. From oldest to youngest, they are Ni'ihau, Kaua'i, O'ahu, Moloka'i, Lina'i, Kaho'olawe, Maui, and Hawai'i. A new island is beginning to form, but it will take a long time for it to reach the surface.
