∙ 15y agoThis is happening because of plate tectonics. The Pacific Plate is moving a few cenitmeters each year in a northwest direction. There is a hot spot under the Pacific plate that keeps feeding or creating the islands, as the plate moves, new islands are being formed in the southeast, at the older islands in the northwest are eroding away.

∙ 15y agoThe southeastern islands in the Hawaiian Island chain contain active volcanoes because they are located over a hot spot where magma from deep within the Earth rises to the surface, creating new land through volcanic activity. In contrast, the northwestern islands are older and smaller because they have moved away from the hot spot, resulting in the cessation of volcanic activity and the erosion and subsidence of the land over time, leading to the formation of smaller, older, and extinct volcanoes.
Hot Spots.
Shield volcanoes are made from runny lava and steep sides. Cinder cone volcanoes are made from lava layers that alternate with layers of cinder. composite volcanoes shoot lav into the air.
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form when magma reaches the surface, and then the valleys form from erosion.
Geographical Isolation
A Hawaiian volcano goes through three main life stages: the shield-building stage, post-shield stage, and rejuvenated stage. In the shield-building stage, the volcano grows rapidly with gentle slopes. During the post-shield stage, the volcano becomes less active, and erosion starts shaping its features. In the rejuvenated stage, the volcano experiences a new period of volcanic activity, creating new vents and cones.
-The Hawaiian islands are actually underwater volcanoes that rose up out of the sea. So the Hawaiian islands were built up by the volcanoes.- On the other hand (i don't have to explain this) volcanoes cause destruction.So yes!
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance explain their financial services very well on their website. They have a financial guide and full details of their products and services.
how is eruption made
What would you expect to find composite volcanoes on Mars? Explain why.

it explains y there is volcanoes, earthquakes, and the movement of the continents
