The places of Kilauea, Hawaii was formed by a hotspot.

Answer: Kilauea, Hawaii

Step-by-step explanation:

The Hawaii Islands that lie in the North Pacific Oceans are primarily a large elevation of series of undulated lands. These have majorly occurred due to consistent eruption of lava for a long period of time from the hotspot lying right below where the islands are situated.

The hotspot that created the Hawaii Islands is presently inactive and the Hawaii Islands are being observed to be shrinking in size.
