Why is Hawaii a chain of islands with mostly inactive volcanoes and 1 active island?
Hawaii is located over a hot-spot under the continental crust, and when the Pacific plate moves, the volcanoes go dormant. The Pacific Plate moves slowly forming chains of volcanoes, that form the islands of Hawaii.
What do volcanoes demonstraight about plate boundaries?
Active volcanoes demonstraight the location of active plate boundries. Dormant volcanoes, such as the Japanese island chain, demonstraight how plate boundries have shifted over time.
How did the hawaiin islands form?
The Hawaiian Islands were formed by volcanic activity over millions of years. A hot spot in the Earth's mantle created a chain of volcanoes as the Pacific Plate moved over it, forming the islands. The islands are the youngest in the chain in the southeast, with the Big Island of Hawaii being the most geologically active.
What is the collective noun for volcanoes?

All of the active and inactive volcanoes that are part of the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount chain are shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are the result of Hot Spot volcanism which is the type of volcanic force that created the Hawaiian islands.
