Hawaiian volcanoes, particularly Mauna Loa and Kilauea, are excellent examples of shield volcanoes, characterized by their broad, gently sloping profiles formed by fluid lava flows. Mauna Loa is one of the largest volcanoes on Earth, while Kilauea is one of the most active, providing insights into volcanic activity and basaltic lava characteristics. Both have played significant roles in shaping the Hawaiian Islands and serve as key sites for volcanological research.
The Hawaiian volcano goddess is known as Pele. She is considered a powerful and passionate deity associated with fire, lightning, wind, and volcanoes in Hawaiian mythology.
In volcanoes that have lower amounts of volcanic gases in the magma. A good example is the volcanoes in the Hawaiian islands. Volcanoes with more gases in the magma tend to erupt explosively (Mt. St. Helens, Vesuvius) and have a thicker, slower moving lava.

Yes. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by hot spot volcanoes.

No. The Hawaiian islands are shield volcanoes.

They are shield volcanoes
It is thought that volcanoes formed the Hawaiian islands.
Volcanoes shot out magma which cooled down to make the Hawaiian Islands.

The tremendous heat and pressure from the earth's core only slightly slows and cools from oceanic influences. The Hawaiian Islands are a good example of volcanoes rising from the seabed.
They were all produced by volcanoes.
