Formation of a VolcanoFormation of a Volcano
The process begins The process begins deep within the earthdeep within the earth
Small amounts of mantle Small amounts of mantle rock melts, forming liquid rock melts, forming liquid magmamagma
Gaseous pressure builds Gaseous pressure builds up up
Magma forces up and Magma forces up and outout

•Hawaiian Islands sit on the Hawaiian Hotspot. •The hotspot does not move. •The Pacific Plate does and carries the islands •After each island was formed, it was carried away from the hotspot •Another island formed in its place.

The process repeated and created a chain of similar islands.
The island of Hawaii has 3 active volcanoes
South of Hawaii, the seamount of Loihi is building and will become another island in 10,000 years
