How was Mt Kilauea formed?
As the pacific tectonic plate moved over the hawaiian hotspot, the island chain of Hawaii was created. as the hotspot burns through the pacific plate, creating a magma chamber, volcanoes are formed. And through these eruptions, land is created from the solidified lava.
How was the island Samoa formed?
AnswerSamoa 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.
What way's are goods moved from place to place in Hawaii?
Within an island, by truck (no railroads in Hawaii) Between islands, by air or by ship/barge.
The hawaiian islands were formed when the pacific plate moved over?
The Hawaiian Islands were each formed over a hot spot in the Earth's crust, creating a volcano. As the Pacific Plate has moved to the northwest, new islands have been created from that same hot spot over time.
How did mount Kilauea form?
Mount Kilauea formed as a Shield Volcano, as the Pacific plate moved over a geological hot spot magma broke through the crust of the earth and formed a set of volcanic mountains on the sea floor. The tops of these mountains are now the Hawaiian islands.
Is Kilauea on a divergent boundary?
No. Kilauea was formed when the Pacific Plate moved over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle. Magma formed a plume upward into the Earth's crust and formed a volcano: Kilauea. 9 +10 = 21
Why is there only one hawaiian island with volcanic activity?
The islands of Hawaii have been formed from lava flowing up from the seafloor in the central Pacific. This "hotspot" has stayed in the same place as the ocean floor slowly moved NW due to crustal spreading. As each island moved away from the hotspot, it lost the supply of new lava from below. Only the volcanoes of the "big island" (Hawaii) and a smaller underwater seamount (Loihi) are currently spewing new lava. Eventually the big island's volcanoes will also stop as it moves off the hotspot after a few thousand years.
When did Diamond Head volcano erupt last?
It's difficult to be sure, since no humans were anywhere nearby when it happened, but it was probably about 150,000 years ago. We believe that there is a stationary "hot spot" in the Earth's mantle, and that the Pacific tectonic plate has been sliding to the northwest. So the western islands like Niihau and Kauai formed long ago, and become dormant and then extinct as the plate moved; then the "hot spot" formed the island of Oahu, and then Maui and Molokai as the plate continued to move. These volcanoes are long dormant. The big island of Hawaii is currently over (or just moving off of) the hot spot, because that volcano is still active. There's another submerged volcano southeast of Hawaii which is still erupting, and growing another island; it'll probably be another 10,000 years before that island erupts from the sea.

Would your dad need to retake the BAR exam if you moved from Kentucky to Hawaii?
