Question

this is a map that shows hot spots around the world. which phrase describes the formation of the hawaiian islands? formed due to subduction formed in the middle of a plate formed at a divergent boundary formed at a convergent boundary

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Hawaiian Islands are formed by a hotspot. Hotspots are located within tectonic plates, not at plate boundaries (convergent, divergent, or subduction zones). As the Pacific Plate moves over the stationary Hawaiian hotspot, volcanic activity builds up islands. So the phrase "formed in the middle of a plate" correctly describes their formation.

Answer:

formed in the middle of a plate
