How does the Hawaiian hot spot create volcanoes like Kilauea?

The Hawaiian Islands, including Kilauea, are formed by a geological phenomenon known as a hotspot. A hotspot is an area in Earth's upper mantle where heat rises, causing magma to form and erupt through the crust. As the Pacific Plate moves over this stationary hotspot, a chain of volcanoes is created. The active volcanoes, like Kilauea, are located directly above the hotspot, while older, extinct volcanoes are found further along the chain as the plate has carried them away from the magma source. Kilauea itself is a shield volcano, characterized by its broad, gently sloping dome built from numerous fluid lava flows.12345
