The hotspot switch places which intensifies movement of plates.
Older and bigger islands collides after volcanic eruptions which
creates new islands.

Answer 1

The correct description of how the islands of Hawaii were formed is:

Hawaii was formed by volcanic activity originating from a hotspot in the Earth's mantle, which creates volcanoes that eventually rise above the ocean surface to form islands.
