Answer:

Subduction Zone

Step-by-step explanation:

Magma from a magma chamber in Earth's asthenospheric mantle flows up through a hole in the lithospheric mantle and through the oceanic crust.

The magma hardens in the ocean water to form a chain of volcanic islands such as the Hawaiian Islands. Seismic activity is occurring where the tectonic plates collide.
