Answer 1

the hawaiian islands follow a mostly straight path long the pacific plate due to the upwelling of the mantle at that location.

follow it historically the islands pregress in a south-easterly direction

so that is where the next island will appear, and then the existing volcanoes will die, and the islands erode.
