Hawaiian Volcanoes
The Hawaiian Islands are home to some of the most studied volcanoes on Earth. The volcanoes erupt often but are seldom explosive because of the magma that they produce. Kilauea volcano is located on the largest of the Hawaiian islands and rises over 4,200 feet above sea level. Kilauea has been erupting continuously since 1983 and has resulted in new landmass.

 Which event is best explained by tectonic plate movement? 

thunderstorm

tsunami

hurricane

tornado

 on tectonic plate boundaries 

in the middle of the oceans  

 at the center of the continents 

 along the equator
