Kīlauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, is slowly moving due to the tectonic activity of the Hawaiian hotspot. It primarily shifts as the Pacific tectonic plate moves northwestward at a rate of about 7-10 centimeters (2.8-4 inches) per year. This movement contributes to the ongoing volcanic activity and the formation of new land as lava flows and eruptions occur.
