How did a hot spot and the Pacific plate interact to form the Hawaiian Islands?

OpenStudy (steve816):

It's from the magma conduits that rise up from the mantle. The older volcanics move over the hot spot and become extinct and a new volcanic island forms from the theory of plate tectonics. It's been going on for about 67 million years.
