Why are the hawaiian islands in the middle of a plate?
There is a 'Hot-spot' in the mantle underneath the crust near the Hawaiian islands, it causes the magma to bubble up through fissures in the sea floor and eventually create new islands. this is how they were formed. for more info look at mantle convection.
Where is the hot zone located?
Hot spots are a concentrated area of the upwelling of magma. This causes mantle plumes above these hotspots. The Hawaiian Islands are an example of this occurence, as the hotspot forms multiple volcanic islands in a neat row when the plate above it moves over it.
Why cant barrier islands be parallel from california's coastline?
Barrier islands are not parallel to California's coastline because of the tectonic activity along the San Andreas Fault. The movement of tectonic plates causes the coastline to be irregular with headlands and bays, making it difficult for barrier islands to form in a parallel manner. Additionally, the wave energy and sediment transport patterns along the California coast also contribute to the lack of parallel barrier islands.
Why are the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific Plate?
The Hawaiian islands are not the result of plate techtonics, they are the result of volcanic activity relating to a particular hot spot in the Earth's mantle, from which a plume of hot magma rises upward and causes volcanic eruptions.
