Answer 3

Ring of Fire.

The Ring of Fire is the outline of the Pacific Plate and has 452 volcanoes. 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes are along this plate.

Hawaii is the hot spot.

I'm guessing its due to the amount of other plates that surround it being subducted underneath them. An oceanic crust is more dense than a continental crust so therefore is lighter. (the oceanic crust will subduct underneath the continental crust)... and seeing as the Pacific Plate is mostly water(oceanic crust) there is a lot of activity going on around here.
