Hot - spot activity occurs when a plume of hot magma rises from deep within the Earth's mantle. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by a hot - spot in the middle of the Pacific Plate. As the plate moved over the stationary hot - spot, a chain of volcanic islands was created over time. The other islands listed (Long Island, Greenland, Great Britain, Sicily, Catalina) were formed through different geological processes such as glaciation, tectonic activity, or sediment deposition, not hot - spot activity.
