The big Hawaiian volcanoes, such as Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, are shield volcanoes characterized by gentle sloping sides and built by repeated eruptions of low-viscosity lava.

These volcanoes are formed by the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle, resulting in volcanic activity that has created the Hawaiian Islands.


How have volcanoes helped to create hawaiian islands?

Hawaiian Islands were formed by volcanic activity as a tectonic plate moved over a hotspot, creating a chain of volcanoes. As the plate moved, new volcanoes emerged from the hotspot, each contributing to the growth of the islands over millions of years. The lava flows and eruptions from these volcanoes built up the landmass of the Hawaiian Islands.
