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.
Both shield volcanoes and stratovolcanoes can form islands.
The Pacific Ocean has many small scattered islands that were formed from the tips of extinct volcanoes. These types of islands are known as volcanic islands or seamounts and can be found throughout the Pacific's vast expanse.
None. The Bahamas are not volcanic. They are reef islands.
Sometimes. Many volcanoes form islands, but not all do.
Some islands may be built by undersea volcanoes.
by undersea volcanoes by dried up volcanic rock
About 150 volcanoes in total. 60 are active.
It is not so much that volcanoes tend to occur on islands as much as many islands are formed by volcanoes. Subduction zones and hot spots often cause volcanoes to develop on the sea floor. Erupted material then piles up to form islands.
5 Volcanoes
-The Hawaiian islands are actually underwater volcanoes that rose up out of the sea. So the Hawaiian islands were built up by the volcanoes.- On the other hand (i don't have to explain this) volcanoes cause destruction.So yes!

There are approximately 1500 active volcanoes in the world, and many of them are located on islands. It is estimated that there are hundreds of volcanic islands globally, but the exact number can vary as new volcanic activity can create or alter islands over time.

The Galapagos Islands were formed through volcanic activity, specifically a hot spot beneath the Earth's crust that created a series of underwater volcanoes. Over time, the accumulation of erupted lava built up layers to form the islands.
there are 263 islands that are a part of scotland. most contain no people living on them.
