The Pacific Ocean has other such Hot Spots. None are a big as that underneath the big island of Hawaii.
It is located along the perimeter of the shrinking Pacific Plate which is being subducted under other plates, causing volcanism.
Convergent plate volcanism
The Laguna fault line runs from near Laguna Lake and under Santa Rosa. All of the Philippines can experience earthquakes because it is located on the Pacific Rim of Fire.
Kilauea is located in the centre of a crustal plate (the pacific plate) away from any plate boundaries. The Hawaiian island chain exists due to the presence of a hotspot (potentially caused by a mantle plume) under the centre of this plate causing volcanism.
The convergence of the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate in the northwestern United States is an example. In this case, it has resulted in mountain building and volcanism.
False! The island of Hawaii experiences volcanism because it is located above a hotspot in the Earth's mantle.
It is located along the perimeter of the shrinking Pacific Plate which is being subducted under other plates, causing volcanism.
Because of it's location directly on what vulcanologist call the "Pacific ring of fire", a high volcanism and earthquake area.
