Answer:

Magma generated from a hot spot burned through the overlying plate to create volcanoes.

Explanation:

The Earth’s outer crust is made up of a series of tectonic plates that move over the surface of the planet. In areas where the plates come together, volcanoes will form in most cases. Volcanoes could also form in the middle of a plate, where magma rises upward until it erupts on the seafloor which is called a hot spot.

Hawaiian Islands were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate. While the hot spot itself is fixed, the plate is moving. As the plate moved over the hot spot, the string of islands that make up the Hawaiian Island were formed.
