Movement of the crustal plate?
When the crustal plate moves it vibrates the earths crust and its plates. When the crust and plates are forced to move it can result in volcanic action.
How did the Hawaiian Islands form?
Volcanoes - It is called a hot spot and as the earths crust moves over the spot, volcanoes form and in this case, created the chain of islands.They formed from a hot spot in earths crustThe Hawiian Islands are the tops of huge undersea volcanoes.The way the islands have formed, although far away from any fault, the area is a volcanic hot-spot. Back a couple million years, the crust beneath was thinning and rising. A series of undersea volcanic eruptions force volcanic material upwards, making the islands. The thinning of the crust, literally, moves southward to make other islands.It has to do wih tectonic plates
How do you briefly explain how volcanoes that are located in hot spots formed?
As tectonic plate moves over a mantle plume, rising magma causes a chain of volcanic islands to form.

What are skarns?
Molton rock moves through crustal carbonate rock, it heats the rock, liberating water from the crustal rock.
What do geologist call a crustal landmass that moves as a unit?
A Tectonic Plate

How was Hawaii and the other hawaiian islands created?
Hawaii currently sits above an area of the mantle known as a hotspot. The mantle, or the part of the planet directly below the crust is made of a hot, dense material called peridotite. The Earth's mantle moves and is akin to a thick, viscous liquid such as syrup, due to trapped primordial heat and the radioactive decay of naturally occuring elements this thick, viscous fluid is hot and convects - sending plumes of hotter material up towards the crust while cooler material sinks down towards the core. Hawaii sits directly above one of these plumes, as do other volcanic hotspots such as Yellowstone, the Canary Islands and Reunion. Over geologic time sustained volcanic activity has built the islands from the seafloor upwards, and over millions of years as the crust moves over the hotspot, new islands are created while others fall dormant.
How does the crustal plates moves?
by bubbling hot magma in the earth's inner core, erupting from volcanoes and causing earthquakes which cause the crustal plates to move.
How do you briefly explain how volcanoes that are located in hot spots formed?
As tectonic plate moves over a mantle plume, rising magma causes a chain of volcanic islands to form.
What happens as a tectonic plate moves over a plume?
A volcano. In the middle of an ocean, it also sometimes forms islands (like Hawaii)
What is a skarns?
Molten rock that moves throgh crustal carbonate rock, That is heat the rock. Hot water as a form of steam or superheated fluid reats with crustal rock and other igneous material.
