What tectonic activity created Hawaii?

It is a subduction zone that makes volcanoes as the oceanic crust melts under another oceanic crust.

It is an area of sea-floor spreading that creates volcanoes as two plates diverge.

It is an area of transform boundaries; two plates are pushing past each other and creating volcanoes as they go.

It is a hot spot that originates from the core and stays still as the plate moves over it creating volcanoes.

Sea-floor spreads apart at both sides of a _____ as new crust is added.

mid-ocean ridge

rift valley

trench

mountain
