The islands of Hawaii were formed through a process called hotspot volcanism. As the Pacific tectonic plate moved slowly over a stationary hotspot in the Earth's mantle, magma from the hotspot rose to the surface and erupted, creating a chain of volcanic islands. Over millions of years, the movement of the plate caused the creation of multiple islands, with the oldest islands located towards the northwest and the youngest towards the southeast, including the Big Island of Hawaii, which is still an active volcano.
