A fixed "hot spot" (magma/hot lava) accumulated under the tectonic plate in that area. Imagine a volcano under the sea floor there. The "volcano" would erupt and create an island. Over time, the tectonic plate would move but the "volcano" would not. The hot spot (volcano) would erupt again but on a different part of the tectonic plate.
