Which one of the following most Accurately describes the volcanoes of the Hawaiian Islands?

a. O Volcanoes are associated with a mid-Pacific transform fault.

b. O Volcanoes are fed by a long-lived hot spot below the Pacific lithospheric plate.

c. Hawaii’s olacanoes are linked to convergent and subducting plate boundaries.

d. O Volcanoes are associated with a mid-Pacific oceanic ridge and spreading center.

Answer:- c. Hawaii’s olacanoes are linked to convergent and subducting plate boundaries.

The correct answer is ‘Volcanoes are fed by a long-lived hot spot below the Pacific lithospheric plate.’ The Hawaiian Islands are located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, far from any plate boundaries. However, they are located above a hot spot, which is a rising plume of molten rock from the Earth’s mantle. As the Pacific plate moves over the hot spot, it melts and creates volcanoes. The Hawaiian Islands are the result of this process, and they are all located in a line that follows the path of the Pacific plate over the hot spot.
