The Hawaiian Island are created by hot spots. Hot spots are a peice of the mantle that has been thrust into the crust and contains magna. This creates an underwater volcano. The lava spewing out of the volcano rises to the surface and cools, creating land. This process continues until there is an island. Over time however, the tectonic plate that the island is on will move and the area will no longer be on top of the hot spot and it will slowly wither away. A new island will began to form in it's place.
