Explanation:

Volcanoes like Mt. St. Helens and Alaska's volcanoes form at tectonic plate boundaries, while Hawaii's volcanic islands originate from a stationary mantle hot spot that the Pacific Plate moves over, creating a chain of islands. Karstic regions relate to soluble rock erosion, and faults are fractures in crust; neither form Hawaii's volcanoes.

hot spot
