Geologic Hot Spot: Hawaii Some of the volcanic high islands of the Pacific comprise island chains. These are formed when the oceanic crust slides over a stationary geologic hot spot in the earth’s mantle where molten magma is relatively close to the crust. As the crust slides over the geologic hot spot, magma rises through the crust to form new volcanic islands.
