Under the Pacific Ocean where the Hawaiian islands are is a hot spot, an area where extra hot mantle material wells up from near the core. Some of this extra hot material melts and rises through the crust to form volcanoes.
The Hawaiian Islands are formed by the ocean structures known as submarine volcanoes. They continue to build the Pacific islands.
The Hawaiian Islands are formed by volcanic activity from the Hawaiian hot spot. This hot spot causes magma to rise to the surface, creating new landmasses. The islands that currently have active volcanoes are located over the hot spot, while the older islands have moved away from it, causing their volcanoes to become dormant.
