Geothermal energy is the energy drawn from the earth (geo) by way of the hot rocks that are found there. It is created as a result of the tremendous heating caused by the fission of radioactive elements in the earth's core.
Nobody has even gotten close to directly examining the interior of the Earth. So there is disagreement among geophysicists as to how heated the Earth's core is. However, the speed at which earthquake waves, sometimes known as "seismic waves," move can reveal a lot to scientists about the composition of the Earth.
It is thought that the Earth's core temperature ranges between 5,000 to 7,000 degrees Celsius. That is far colder than the sun's inside, yet roughly as heated as the sun's surface.

The correct answer is - Magma generated from a hot spot burned through the overlying plate to create volcanoes.
The Hawaiian Islands are all formed as a result of volcanic activity of a hot spot. The hot spot is stationary, but the islands are in the shape of a chain, not all in the same place. Also, the rocks on the islands that do not have active volcanoes are older, than the ones that do have volcanic activity. This suggests that the Pacific plate is moving. According the direction in which the islands are arranged, the Pacific plate seems to move toward northwest. As it moves, it moves over the hot spot. Since the hot spot is stationary, as the Pacific plate moves, eventually the volcanic activity will stop on the island that has moved further away from the hot spot. The magma from the hot spot will penetrate through the crust that came to be over it. That will result in new volcanic island emerging from the sea over the hot spot. The process goes on for millions of years, and it can result in hundreds of islands of volcanic origin.

Your best probable answer would be B. because tectonic plates are pretty much the reason why Central America has over a dozen mountains.
