There is a chain of over 129 submerged seamounts, coral atolls, extinct volcanoes, and active volcanoes all generated by the same hotspot mantle plume as the pacific plate slowly slid over it. The Hawaiian Islands are just the most recently formed series of extinct and active volcanoes in this chain.
