There is a 'Hot-spot' in the mantle underneath the crust near the Hawaiian islands, it causes the magma to bubble up through fissures in the sea floor and eventually create new islands. this is how they were formed. for more info look at mantle convection.
Hawaiian Islands were formed in the middle of the Pacific Plate from volcanic activity over a hotspot.
The Hawaiian Islands are located over a hotspot, where a tectonic plate moves over a stationary mantle plume. This is not a plate boundary, but rather a volcanic hotspot chain that has formed the Hawaiian Islands as the Pacific Plate moves slowly over it.
The Hawaiian islands were formed by a hot spot. A hot spot is an area where magma from deep within the mantle rises to the surface, creating volcanic activity. The Pacific Plate moving over the hot spot has created a chain of volcanic islands, with the oldest island in the northwest and the youngest in the southeast.
No, the Hawaiian Islands are not formed at a subduction boundary. They are formed by a hotspot in the Earth's mantle, where magma rises to the surface and creates volcanic islands as the tectonic plate moves over the hotspot.
The linear formation of the Hawaiian Islands is due to the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle, causing a chain of volcanic islands to form over millions of years.

The Hawaiian islands are located where the Pacific plate is migrating.
The Hawaiian islands are not the result of plate techtonics, they are the result of volcanic activity relating to a particular hot spot in the Earth's mantle, from which a plume of hot magma rises upward and causes volcanic eruptions.
The hot spot in the middle of the Pacific plate is called the Hawaiian hot spot. It is responsible for the formation of the Hawaiian Islands, with the youngest island being the Big Island of Hawaii.

Yes, the Hawaiian Islands are a result of a convergent plate boundary. The Pacific Plate is moving northwestward and is being subducted beneath the North American Plate, which has created the volcanic activity that formed the islands.
The Hawaiian islands move toward the northwest direction because the plate that the islands are on is moves in that direction.
sea mountsThe Hawaiian islands were formed by volcanoes. Volcanoes have two methods of formation, convergence of tectonic plates at the edges of the plates, and hot spots under the middle of plates. The Hawaiian islands and others in that area were formed when magma from the mantle rose to Earth's surface through a certain spot in the middle of the plate (i.e., the Pacific Plate for the Hawaiian Islands). This hot spot is situated beneath the center of the plate, and the volcano above moves with the plate as it moves, but the hot spot stays in place. This causes the original volcano to become extinct when its move cuts it off from its magma source and an island is born. A new volcano will then form above the hot spot again. This process repeats as the plate moves and a string of volcanoes (and eventually, islands) will dot the surface of the plate as the movement continues away from the hot spot.
No. The Hawaiian islands are over a hot spot and are nowhere near any plate boundaries.
