Explain how Hawaii formed
Hot spots, where magma pushed up the land and created volcanos. Over time, the land was pushed away from the hot spot and the volcano became inactive. A new volcano was formed from the new land that was pushed over the hotspot. This cycle kept repeating, forming the islands

BIG MOTHER STUFF RIGHT HERE? i THINK SOOO Why does subduction occur? Where does it occur? What does it do? WHAT IS MY KIYE'S REAL NAME?!
Subduction occurs because of two plates pushing against each other, the denser plate moves underneath the other plate. It occurs at trenches. It recycles the crust. MY KIYE'S REAL NAME IS OREOOOO
