Why are the Hawaiian islands in a chain?
Due to volcanic eruptions forming islands along a weakness in a long line of the sea bed, the Hawaiian Island chains was formed.
What caused the hawaiian chain?
The Hawaiian chain was formed by a hotspot beneath the Pacific Plate. As the plate moves over the hotspot, it creates a series of volcanic islands. The oldest islands are in the northwest, with the youngest islands, such as Hawaii, forming in the southeast.
What kind of geologic formation is Loihi is it part of the Hawaiian chain?
It is an undersea volcanco. Yes its apart of the hawaiian chain
What tectonic plate is forming the new island of Loihi?
The new island of Loihi is forming on the Pacific Plate. It is a seamount located south of the Big Island of Hawaii, and it is part of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain. The Pacific Plate is moving northwestward over a hotspot, which is causing volcanic activity that is building the island.
Is volcanoes no longer existing or living?
They not only exist, they are forming a new island in the Hawaiian chain, even as we speak. The Yellowstone SuperVolcano may wind up threatening the entire planet.

What are the 5 names of the Hawaiian islands?
Hawaiian Islands by Area:Hawaii.Maui.Oahu.Kauai.Molokai.Lanai.NiihauKahoolawe.
Which plate contains the hawaiian island-emperor seamount chain?
The Hawaiian Island-Emperor Seamount Chain is primarily located on the Pacific Plate. This volcanic chain was formed as the Pacific Plate moved over a stationary hotspot in the Earth's mantle, resulting in the creation of the Hawaiian Islands and the seamounts to the northwest. The chain extends from the islands of Hawaii to the northwest, where it transitions into the Emperor Seamounts.
