Question
this is a map that shows hot spots around the world. which phrase describes the formation of the hawaiian islands? formed due to subduction formed in the middle of a plate formed at a divergent boundary formed at a convergent boundary
The Hawaiian Islands formed over a stationary mantle hot spot. As the Pacific tectonic plate moved slowly over this hot spot, successive volcanic eruptions built up the chain of islands. This occurs in the middle of the Pacific Plate, not at a plate boundary (divergent, convergent, or subduction zones which are types of convergent boundaries).
