The Arabian Plate is located mainly beneath the Arabian Peninsula, which is a peninsula in Southwest Asia. This area includes countries such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.
The Arabian Plate is located beneath the continents of Africa and Asia. It is a tectonic plate that mainly consists of the Arabian Peninsula and parts of the Middle East.
Canada is actually part of North America. It sits directly north of the United States Of America, Making them our neighbor.
A continent is what floats on top of the plate. There are continental and oceanic plates. The continents float on the continental plate and the ocean sits on the oceanic plate. But there are also plates that carry both continents and oceans. The plates are what causes continental drift. So basically plates are what carry the continents and oceans.
Jordan sits on the Asian continent in the southwest region called the Middle East and specifically the Levant.
An island and a continent are different landforms. An island is a piece of land surrounded by water, while a continent is a large, continuous landmass. Continents are defined by their size, geology, and tectonic plates, while islands can be part of a continent or exist independently.
The Arabian Plate is located beneath the continents of Africa and Asia. It is a tectonic plate that mainly consists of the Arabian Peninsula and parts of the Middle East.
Sicily is part of Italy which is part of Europe, therefore it would be logical to say Sicily is on the European Continent. The island however sits on the African tectonic plate so geographically it is part of Africa.
The "Middle East" is a term used to describe a region (note: not a specific geographical location), and as such encompasses portions of the North African continent as well as Western Asia. The term is used much in the same way as one would refer to the general geographical location of "Southern Africa", but not a specific country. Currently the media makes use of the term "Middle East" in general references to countries surrounding the Arabian Gulf as well as those that border the eastern parts of the Mediterranean Sea - which is is not quite the full picture. In a geographical sense the "Middle East" sits almost entirely on what is known as the Arabian Plate (plate tectonics). This plate sits between of the African Plate, the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, although the region forms part of the Asian continent.

Technically is sits on the Middle Eastern tectonic plate, so falls somewhere between the African and Asian plates. In geopolitical terms it is, however, considered to be part of Asia.
Hawaii is situated broadly in the centre of the Pacific plate. It has volcanoes because it sits on a particularly thin part of that plate which allows for magma from below the plate to rise and come to the surface.
A continent is what floats on top of the plate. There are continental and oceanic plates. The continents float on the continental plate and the ocean sits on the oceanic plate. But there are also plates that carry both continents and oceans. The plates are what causes continental drift. So basically plates are what carry the continents and oceans.
No. Continents are bigger than islands. However, besides the size of a landmass determining whether it is an island or a continent, there is the fact of whether or not it sits on its own tectonic plate.

yes
The UK sits towards the Western edge of the Eurasian plate.
The cotopaxi volcano sits on the pacific plate.
