The mantle plume
A Hot spot is stationary in time and burns though the solid lithosphere creating an island through volcanic eruptions. The lithosphere is separated into plates that move around so if a hot spot occurs under an oceanic plate it forms a island and as the plate moves (and the hot spot does not) it forms a chain of islands (as the plate moves over the hot spot). This is how the Hawaiian chain is formed.
Volcanoes - It is called a hot spot and as the earths crust moves over the spot, volcanoes form and in this case, created the chain of islands.They formed from a hot spot in earths crustThe Hawiian Islands are the tops of huge undersea volcanoes.The way the islands have formed, although far away from any fault, the area is a volcanic hot-spot. Back a couple million years, the crust beneath was thinning and rising. A series of undersea volcanic eruptions force volcanic material upwards, making the islands. The thinning of the crust, literally, moves southward to make other islands.It has to do wih tectonic plates
One famous example of hot spots is the Hawaiian Islands. These islands were formed by a hot spot in the Earth's mantle that has created a chain of volcanic islands as the Pacific Plate moves over it. The most well-known island in this chain is Hawaii, which is home to the active volcano Kilauea.
It leaves an island arc or chain if the hot spot is in the ocean. A great example of this is the Hawaiian Island chain. There is another hot spot in the North American plate which now resides in Yellowstone National park. This hot spot simply leaves a chain of extinct volcanic areas as the continental plate moves over it.
The Hawaiian Islands were created from a hot spot in the Pacific Ocean, where the Pacific Plate moves over a stationary hotspot, creating a chain of volcanic islands.
The Hawaiian Islands formed over a volcanic hotspot in the Earth's mantle, where magma rises to the surface through the Pacific Plate. As the tectonic plate moves over the hotspot, it creates a chain of volcanic islands, with the oldest island in the chain eroding away as new islands form. This process has been ongoing for millions of years, leading to the formation of the Hawaiian Island chain.

The magma from inside the earth pushes through and creates a volcanoe.the volcanoe slides off a hill.then after thousands of years,it creates a chain of islands.(the process is still happening)
The growth of the Hawaiian island chain is primarily due to the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle. As the plate moves, volcanic activity at the hotspot creates new islands, with the oldest islands in the chain found in the northwest and the youngest in the southeast.
The Hawaiian Island chain is formed by a hot spot, not a plate boundary. A hot spot is an area of volcanic activity caused by a plume of magma rising from deep within the Earth's mantle, creating a chain of volcanic islands as the tectonic plate moves over it.

The Hawaiian chain was formed by a hotspot beneath the Pacific Plate. As the plate moves over the hotspot, it creates a series of volcanic islands. The oldest islands are in the northwest, with the youngest islands, such as Hawaii, forming in the southeast.

The formation of the Hawaiian Islands is associated with a volcanic hot spot under the Pacific Plate. As the plate moves slowly northwest over the hot spot, a chain of volcanic islands is formed, with the oldest islands in the chain to the northwest and the youngest to the southeast. This process has been ongoing for millions of years.
