Answer:

Formed where mantle erupts through crust

Explanation:

The Hawaiian Islands lies in a very strategic geologic zone. The islands are a series of volcanic islands made up of mantlic basaltic magma that has reached the surface.

Answer:

The phrase that best describes the formation of the Hawaii Islands is the one that says the Hawaii Islands were formed in the middle of a plate.

Explanation:

  • The Hawaii Islands were formed due to the eruption of magma through a hotspot located on the Pacific Plate.
  • About 65 million years ago, consistent eruptions of magma through the hotspot over a period of few thousand years, gave rise to a chain of islands.
  • This chain of islands later came to be known as the Hawaii Islands.
