Because that's the way God created them.
Hawaii
bye plate toctenics
Shield volcanoes.
Hawaii was made by volcanoes and has a lat of them
The volcanoes on Hawaii are unique because they are the reasons why Hawaii was formed.
At Fault lines, or places of crustal activity :) Volcanoes usually form near plate boundaries where subduction is occurring. This causes magma from the mantle to rise up onto Earth's surface and form volcanoes. Most volcanoes are formed in this way. Volcanoes can also be formed by hotspots. Magma from the mantle rises through these hotspots and find their way to Earth's surface, forming volcanoes in a chain like Hawaii. Well, volcanoes are usually the land that creates islands like Hawaii. I'm doing homework right now and i'd say an island? If not that, i'd go with the first two answers. :)
some of Hawaii is made of volcanoes. but not all of it
There are 3 active volcanoes in Hawaii right now.
Hawaii Volcanoes Wilderness was created in 1978.
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.
Hawaii is the US state that has two active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Both volcanoes are located on the Big Island of Hawaii and are part of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Yes, they would. Hawaii is a prime example; all of its islands are either extinct or active volcanoes.
