Summary:
Hawaii is a chain of islands that formed in the Pacific Ocean due to volcanic activity. The Pacific plate moves very slowly over a hot spot in Earth's mantle. This caused a string of islands known as an archipelago to form. Over the course of many centuries, one island would form over the hot spot, but the plate would move, allowing a new island to form. Older islands have been worn away and sink back into the ocean in time.
