The Hawaiian Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean, just over 2,000 miles southwest of the U.S mainland. The islands are made from a stationary hot spot in the mantle below the Pacific Plate. The Big island is the youngest of the islands which is 400,000 years old. There are 5 volcanoes on the Big Island, some of which are extinct, inactive, active. The lava flows have created the unique shape of the island.
