All the islands of Hawaii are formed from volcanoes. As a result there are going to me miles of old volcanic vents and tunnels underneath the surface. A good quake could collapse many of these old tunnels. Could even open up a new active vent.

I believe they all formed as the plate moved over a single hot spot.
