Which describes how the islands of Hawaii were formed?

Question

(1 point)
The hotspot switch places which intensifies movement of
plates.
Older and bigger islands collides after volcanic eruptions
which creates new islands.
The Pacific plates move and later join together to form the
islands.
The islands sit on hotspots that form volcanoes which then
break the ocean surface.

Answer 1

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

The islands sit on hotspots that form volcanoes which then break the ocean surface.

Hawaii was created by volcanic activity from a stationary hotspot in the Earth's mantle, which produces magma that rises to form volcanic islands. As the Pacific tectonic plate moves over this hotspot, new islands are formed while older ones are slowly eroded away.
