Where the Hawaiian islands formed by earthquakes or volcanoes?
Hawaii was formed by centuries of volcanic magma boiling out. Hawaii and it's sister Islands are active volcanoes.
What Hawaiian Islands were formed by which constructive process?
The Hawaiian Islands are formed by the ocean structures known as submarine volcanoes. They continue to build the Pacific islands.
Which ocean has many small scattered islands that were formed from the tips of extinct volcanoes?
Pacific
Are volcanoes found only on the edge of plates?
No. They are also found above things called 'plumes'. If you want to find out more Google it, there are plenty of sites where you can get any information you might need.
How is Cleveland Volcano formed?
Mount Cleveland is part of a group of volcanoes called the Aleutian Arc, which extends along the Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula. These volcanoes formed because just to the south the Pacific Plate is colliding with and sliding under the North American Plate and into the mantle. This process is called subduction. As the plate subducts it carries water with it. This water gets into the hot mantle rock and alters its chemistry, allowing some of it to melt. The resulting magma then rises through the crust to erupt from volcanoes.

What do we call the belt formed by active volcanoes around the pacific ocean?
The "ring of fire".
Which ocean has many small scattered islands that were formed from the tips of extinct volcanoes?
Pacific
Where are volcanoes most likely formed?
mostly around the pacific ocean

The Pacific Ranges were formed by?
Vulcanism - if you are thinking of the same thing as me then they are all mostly extinct volcanoes although some remain active or dormant.
What state consists of a group of 132 islands formed from volocanic mountains?
The Pacific Ring Of Fire is the region which surrounds the countries where active volcanoes are located.
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.

Does the Pacific Ocean have volcanic activity?
Yes, there is volcanic activity in the Pacific Ocean. Most of it occurs near the edges of the Pacific, in a region called the Ring of Fire. These volcanoes are responsible for the formation of Indonesia, Japan, and the Aleutians Islands, to name a few. There are also volcanoes closer to the middle of the Pacific plate, which formed islands such as those of the South Pacific and Hawaii.
How was Philippines formed?
it is said that Philippines was formed by volcanoes. it appears that the volcanoes underneath the ocean has the same core of the volcanoes found here in the Philippines
