Question

Scientists think that the arrangement of the Hawaiian Islands can be explained by plate tectonics. Scientists think each island was formed as volcanic eruptions from a single hotspot that occurred while the ocean floor plate moved in a northwest direction over the hotspot. Which of these observations BEST supports this theory?

Answer 1

The Hawaiian Islands were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate. While the hot spot itself is fixed, the plate is moving. So, as the plate moved over the hot spot, the string of islands that make up the Hawaiian Island chain were formed.
