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:

The Hawaiian Islands were formed by a hotspot. Hotspots are areas where magma rises from deep within the mantle. The Pacific Plate is moving over this stationary hotspot. Subduction (where one plate goes under another) is related to convergent boundaries. Divergent boundaries are where plates move apart. Convergent boundaries are where plates come together. The Hawaiian Islands are not at a boundary (divergent or convergent) but in the middle of the Pacific Plate. As the plate moves, new volcanoes form over the hotspot, creating the island chain.

Answer:

formed in the middle of a plate
