In order for the Earth to get larger, more mass would have to be added. Since no new mass is added in the process, It's size doesn't increase.

Answer:

<u>True</u>.

Explanation:

As the volcanic islands of Hawaii are still considered to be in an active zone, as the Hawaiian islands are believed to be formed on the hotspot of eruptions ie. the active plate boundaries from below the surface these tend to move westwards direction from the main island of Hawaii.

As we go from east to west the chain of rocks gets older and then forms a ring-shaped pattern hence called the ring of fire. Thus there is a great risk of volcanic hazard as these are fault lines being associated with high magnitude tectonic earthquakes.

They can have a seriously damaging impact upon other islands as well and this considered to be highly hazardous. As various vents and mounds of volcanic nature lie within the oceans of the Pacific plate.
