All Hawaiian Islands were formed by the action of volcanoes that arose
from the seabed, from a source of magma in geology is called hot spot.
This theory holds that the tectonic plate under the Pacific Ocean moves
in a north-westerly direction, so that the hot spot remains stationary,
slowly creating new volcanoes. For this reason, only the volcanoes in
the southern half of the Big Island remain active today.
