There are many volcanoes in Hawaii. Each island was formed by a volcano, and there are still five active volcanoes there: Loihi, Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai, and Haleakala. The Hawaiian islands are moving over what is called a "hot spot" below the earth's crust, and as the tectonic plate slides over, new volcanoes are formed.
