the new Hawaiian island is forming by the pacific plate going over hot spots

huh? what is a tectonic plate?
The Eurasian Plate
Tectonic plate
The Galapagos microplate at 12,000 square kilometers, is the smallest tectonic plate.
yes because as the tectonic plate its on moves so does a hot spot (unserwater volcano) wich creates those islands.supposedly the islands name is going to be "loihi".
It is forming from a hot spot underneath the tectonic plate.
Actually, people think that Panama is on the Central America Tectonic plate, but it's really on a little tectonic plate, called the Panama Tectonic Plate.
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.

Results can be such as earthquakes, or mountains and volcanoes forming.

Rhode island doesn't sit upon a tectonic plate
The Caribbean tectonic plate is the plate upon which Aruba is located.Specifically, Aruba is an arid, sunny island in the southernmost Caribbean Sea. It is only 17 miles (27 kilometers) off the coast of the northern South American country of Venezuela. But the island is not part of that continent or of that continent's tectonic plate.
There were two tectonic plates involved: the Pacific plate and the plate under Northern Honshu (it is unknown which plate is under the island).
Most volcanoes appear at the tectonic plate boundaries where friction between the plates and the mantle makes magma which then push through near the plate boundaries forming volcanoes.
They are the result of the subduction processes related to plate tectonic movements, specifically they mostly form where one oceanic tectonic plate subducts another one.
