How Hawaii DelvopedHawaii is here because of what is called a "hot spot", this hot spot was found in the pacific ocean. A hot spot is where magma rises from the ground, and soon erupt, but because it was underwater, the lava would just harden and begin to build up and up over many years. Soon the hardened magma began to build up, soon it reached surface level after thousands of years. So that is how the islands of Hawaii formed.
