What type of plate boundary is forming the hawaiian islands? be sure to check the map of plate boundaries in your text! select one: a. ocean to continent convergent b. divergent c. transform d. ocean to ocean convergent e. none of the above?

The correct answer is option e.

The type of plate boundary forming the Hawaiian Islands is none of the above.

Further Explanation:

The Hawaiian Islands is an archipelago in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean. These Islands were formed when a hot spot was created in the mid of the plate in the Pacific Ocean. The hot spot occurs when the volcanoes that are formed in the middle of a plate erupt and the magma rises upward until it reaches the seafloor. The Hawaii islands are formed when the hot spot is created in the Pacific Ocean. When the hot spot is getting itself fixed, the plate was moving. The plate moved over the hot spot, a chain of islands is created that is known as Hawaiian Islands.

Therefore, the chain of Hawaiian island is created by volcanic hot-spot.
