The Hawian island chain was created by a "hotspot" in the Earth's mantle. This in turn is thought to be caused by a mantle plume. This is an up welling of very hot material from deep within the mantle (possibly even the core mantle boundary).
The mantle plume stays in the same place, however the lithospheric plates are moving above it. So the mantle plume causes volcanism to occur at the spot on the surface directly above it forming a volcano, however as that volcano is dragged away by the movement of the lithospheric plate it is no longer over the mantle hot spot and loses it's supply of magma and becomes extinct. Meanwhile a new volcano will form in the lithosphere that is currently over the hotspot.
What else can I help you with?
What animals can live in nonactive volcanoes?
Any.
Are Hawaiian volcanoes cinder cones?
No. The Hawaiian islands are shield volcanoes.
Are the Hawaiian islands a very active volcano?
The Hawaiian islands are made up of many volcanoes, most of which are extinct. However, one volcano, Kilauea on the big island, is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
What type of volcanoes are on the Hawaiian Islands?
Shield volcanoes
What type of a volcanoes are in the Hawaiian Islands?
They are shield volcanoes
Where is shield volcano?
shield volcanoes are in many places but the most common are the Hawaiian Islands
How have volcanoes helped to create the Hawaiian islands?
Volcanoes shot out magma which cooled down to make the Hawaiian Islands.
How were the Hawaiian formed?
It is thought that volcanoes formed the Hawaiian islands.
How many hawaiian volcanoes are there?
13
How were the Hawaiian islands formed and which type of rock is probably most common in Hawaii?
they were formed by underwater volcanoes
Is the cinder cone volcano in Hawaii?
There are many hundreds of cinder cone volcanoes in the world. Some are in Hawaii but most are not. The Hawaiian islands themselves are shield volcanoes.
Are Hawaiian volcanoes high in silica?
Hawaiian volcanoes are generally low in silica compared to other types of volcanoes, such as those that produce andesitic or rhyolitic lava. The primary type of lava produced by Hawaiian volcanoes is basalt, which has a lower silica content, typically ranging from about 45% to 55%. This low silica content contributes to the fluidity of the lava, resulting in the characteristic broad, shield-like shapes of Hawaiian volcanoes.
