Answer 1

The oldest of Hawaii's volcanic islands are those that **are the farthest distance from the hotspot**. This is because the islands were formed by volcanic activity from the hotspot as the tectonic plate moved over it. Over time, as the plate continues to move, the islands that are further away from the hotspot become older.
