The major islands of the state of Hawaii are formed from a line of separate volcanoes emerging from the ocean floor of the Pacific Plate. The line extends from Kauai in the northwest, to Hawai'i in the southeast over a range of hundreds of miles. Kauai was formed from volcanoes that formed about 5 million years ago; on Hawai'i the volcanoes are currently active.
