this is a bad answer: but volcanoes deffers had something to do with it

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

"In areas where the plates come together, sometimes volcanoes will form. Volcanoes can also form in the middle of a plate, where magma rises upward until it erupts on the sea floor, at what is called a “hot spot.” The Hawaiian Islands where formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate."
