This is happening because of the plate tectonics. The Pacific Plate is moving a few centimeters in a direction of northwest each year. There is a hot spot under the Pacific plate that keeps creating the islands, new islands are being formed in the southeast as the plates move, at the older islands in the northwest are being gradually destroying away.
