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 originating from a stationary hotspot beneath the Pacific Plate, leading to the formation of the islands as lava from underwater volcanoes built up and eventually broke the ocean's surface.
