causes of earthquakes
What fault runs along the Hawaiian Islands that causes earthquakes?
There is no fault along the Hawaiian Islands. The earthquakes are caused by magma rising from a hot spot beneath the Pacific Plate. As magma rises it displaces a portion of the plate and that is felt as an earthquake. Of course, there is the belief (by some in Geology) that there is no such thing as hot spots (or Plate Tectonics for that matter), but that is the most commonly accepted theory.
