What plate is Kilauea on?

Mount Kilauea (in Hawaii) does not lie on a plate boundary. The Hawaiian volcanoes occur in the middle of an oceanic plate.This lead people to theorize that Hawaii must lie over a hot spot on the earth caused by some underlying mechanism. The concept of a mantle plume was developed to explain the Hawaiian hot spot, and the theory of mantle plumes has become something of a geological dogma. Recent research papers on the subject hotly contest the existence of mantle plumes and provide other mechanisms to explain hot spots. See the links below.
