What chain of islands are formed because of a hot spot?
A Hot spot is stationary in time and burns though the solid lithosphere creating an island through volcanic eruptions. The lithosphere is separated into plates that move around so if a hot spot occurs under an oceanic plate it forms a island and as the plate moves (and the hot spot does not) it forms a chain of islands (as the plate moves over the hot spot). This is how the Hawaiian chain is formed.
