Now the islands are moving more north compared to before compare to the direction of pacific plate motion relative to the hawaiian hotspot over the past million years.
The Pacific Ocean's ocean floor is made up of multiple plates. In relation to the plate holding North America and to hot areas rising through the mantle from below the plates, the largest one, the Pacific Plate, is moving north-west (they generate islands like Hawaii). The plate is travelling around Hawaii at a rate of 7 cm per year.
A hot spot that provided magma produced deep under the mantle of the earth, which was used to create the long volcanic chain, did so over the course of about 70 million years. Over the course of around 70 million years, a hot spot supplied magma that was formed deep under the earth's interior (mantle), pushing its way through the earth's surface and ocean floor to construct volcanic islands.
The hot point continuously created new volcanoes on the Pacific Plate, creating the volcanic chain, while the Pacific Plate was shifted by tectonic forces inside the Earth.The Pacific Plate will move in the direction and at the rate determined by the distances between and the approximate ages of several of the Hawaiian volcanoes.
