Answer

Samoa is a group of islands formed about seven million years ago in the Pacific by a series of broad shield volcanos. Those volcanoes formed as the Pacific plate moved over a stationary hotspot deep in the earth in that region. Eventually the lava broke the surface of the ocean and formed islands. Samoa has been occupied by humans for over 3,000 years.
