The Hawaiian Islands came be to from a hotspot in the earth's mantle. The mantle is a layer of molten rock under the Earth's crust. Hotspots are places where the mantle makes a stream of super-heated rock or lava come up, which passes through the outer layers of the Earth's surface, resulting in volcanoes. In the case of Hawaii, volcanoes and hot lava were mainly released under the ocean. As more liquid rock is exhausted into the ocean floor, it hardens and builds up over many thousands of years until wait for it wait for it the rock raises out of the surface of the ocean, forming wait for it an island.
