    3. Hot spots, 4. S shaped mid oceanic ridge, pacific ocean.

    Explanation:

    The Hawaiian islands are located on the hotspots that are formed by the collision of two strong plates and the presence of volcanoes and high magnitude earthquakes as the pacific plate is continuously moving on the western side as its subducting under the North American plate and hence shrinking in size. The s-shaped Atlantic ocean has mid atlantic ridge and as this ocean spreads the lava is up welding across the ocean floor and hence the opening of the atlantic plate is seen.
