How did Hawaii form?

The Hawaiian archipelago stretches above the Hawaiian Ridge,a line of volcanoes running 1,615 miles along the floor of the Pacific Ocean.Islands form over a hotspot beneath the tectonic plate.Volcanoes build underwater peaks that eventually reach above sea level.
As the Pacific plate continues moving northwest,the islands age.At the same time,new islands are always forming.At the same time,new islands are always forming.At the current southeast end of the chain,Loihni,now a seamount,will one day become the newest Hawaiian island.
