The Hawaiian Islands and many other volcanic islands in our oceans were formed by a hot spot situated under the middle of a tectonic plate. It is beneath the center of the plate, and, therefore, it does not move as the plate moves. It is a magma source, and magma spews out of it onto the Earth's surface on the plate to form lava mountains, eventually rising high enough above the sea to become volcano islands. These volcano islands are situated above the plate, so they move along with the plate when it continues its movement. Since the hot spot does not move, the volcano on the island is no longer above the hot spot and therefore becomes extinct as it is cut off from its magma source. In time, a new volcano island then forms on top of the hot spot in the new location on the topside of the plate that is now situated over the hot spot, and the cycle continues creating more volcanic mountains and islands.
1) It was formed by volcanic activity.
2) it was formed by sea aliens
Some Pacific islands are the tops of partially submerged mountain tops. Others are the tops of active or extinct volcanoes.

High islands, low islands, and volcanoes
the Solomon islands are not part of a continent they are islands formed by volcanic activity and there are still many active volcanoes among them.
Oceania
they are continental, oceanic and tropical.
No, the Cook Islands are in Oceania.
The large group of islands in the South Pacific is known as Oceania. These islands are classified as either the high islands or the low islands.
The islands of Oceania are located in the Pacific Ocean.
Oceania includes fault lines where there is earthquake and volcanic activity.
Vanuatu is located in Oceania, Oceania is also known as Australia. However Oceania includes the islands around it
