If I remember my geology correctly.

All of the Hawaiian islands are on a tectonic plate that is slowly moving to to the northeast. There is a hot spot under that plate that spews up lava thus the whole chain of islands have been created by lava eruptions.

I also believe there is ongoing underwater eruption forming a new island as we speak.
