The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.
A quiet eruption typically produces basaltic lava. This type of lava is low in viscosity and flows easily, resulting in gentle, slow-moving lava flows. It often forms shield volcanoes with broad and gently sloping sides.
maybe because the middle of the pacific ocean is nearest the equator and the equator is the hottest place on earth so that's where a lot of volcanoes would be because all of the hawiian islands were caused by volcanoes. this is what i think at least. i hope it helped you!
No. The Hawaiian islands are formed by a mantle plume.
Both shield volcanoes and stratovolcanoes can form islands.
they were formed by underwater volcanoes
No. Only a handful of Hawaii's volcanoes are active.
The Hawaiian islands were formed by shield volcanoes, which are characterized by long, gentle sloping sides formed by low-viscosity lava flows. These volcanoes are created by the movement of the Pacific Plate over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle, resulting in a chain of volcanic islands.
Shield volcanoes
They are shield volcanoes
The Hawiian Islands are in the east pacific ocean

Perhaps an Earthquake?
They are good examples of both shield volcanoes and hot spot volcanoes.
