Here's why:
* Plate Boundaries: These are areas where tectonic plates interact, leading to various geological features. There are three main types: divergent (plates moving apart), convergent (plates colliding), and transform (plates sliding past each other).
* Hotspots: These are areas of volcanic activity that are not located at plate boundaries. They are thought to be caused by plumes of hot rock rising from deep within the Earth's mantle. The Hawaiian Islands are a chain of volcanoes formed by the Pacific plate moving over the Hawaiian Hotspot.
Therefore, Kilauea is not associated with a plate boundary but is a result of volcanic activity driven by the Hawaiian Hotspot.
