There is a hot spot under the islands that keeps burning a hole in the same spot even thought the plate is moving. Hence the chain of islands.
Volcanoes shot out magma which cooled down to make the Hawaiian Islands.
Not. The Hawaiian Islands are formed at a hot spot.
No, there is a hot spot on the ocean floor and over time, the lava coming out of the underwater volcanoes created land that is known as the Hawaiian Islands.
Yes. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by hot spot volcanoes.
There is a hot spot under the islands that keeps burning a hole in the same spot even thought the plate is moving. Hence the chain of islands.
this is called primary succesion
No. The Hawaiian islands are over a hot spot and are nowhere near any plate boundaries.
The Hawaiian Islands are formed by volcanic activity from the Hawaiian hot spot. This hot spot causes magma to rise to the surface, creating new landmasses. The islands that currently have active volcanoes are located over the hot spot, while the older islands have moved away from it, causing their volcanoes to become dormant.
The Hawaiian Islands were created when molten material moved over a hot spot.
the youldest island
Due to plate techtonics, most of the Hawaiian Islands have been moved away from the "hot spot" in the earth's crust that is slowly extruding new islands. The big Island of Hawaii is the current location of that hot spot.
The Hawaiian islands, Iceland, and Yellowstone are three examples of hot spots.
