Volcanoes in Hawaii form when the tectonic plate of the pacific creeps over Hawaiiʻs hot spot. As the hot magma pours out of the hot spot it slowly creates a small mound at the deep ocean floor. As the magma continuously oozes out, the mound gets bigger and bigger eventually piercing the surface of the ocean. More and more the magma flows the larger the mound becomes, eventually becoming an atoll. As the atoll increases in size it becomes an island. Remember, during the time the island is being created, the tectonic plates are still moving, so every year each island moves left and up about 2 inches. So if you looked at the Hawaiian Island chain you will notice that Niʻihau and Kauaʻi are at the top left. These two islands were once in the location of Hawaiʻi aka the Big Island.
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.
The Hawaiian islands were formed by multiple volcanoes. Five separate volcanoes form the main island we call Hawaii: Kohala, Hualālai, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Kilauea.
An underwater volcano. The volcano that made Hawaii was a shield volcano.
there r 11 volcanoes on the island Hawaii there you got your answer happy
Hawaii is a state with volcanoes beneath it!
Hawaii
bye plate toctenics
Shield volcanoes.
Hawaii was made by volcanoes and has a lat of them
Because that's the way God created them.
The volcanoes on Hawaii are unique because they are the reasons why Hawaii was formed.
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.

Yes, they would. Hawaii is a prime example; all of its islands are either extinct or active volcanoes.
