what type of plate boundary does the hawaiian island
Figure 1âRising Lava and a String of Pearls. The Hawaiian Islands are the last in a string of volcanic islands that arose as the Pacific Plate moved over a âhot spotâ in the crust. At the end of the Flood, eruptions began to produce dozens of islands stretching over 3,600 miles (5,800 km). The hot spot currently sits under Hawaiiâs Big Island.
