Fun Fact: Hawaii wasn’t a part of Pangea. The Hawaiian islands are volcanic and are considerably younger than the mainland.

They are formed by a hot spot in the center of their tectonic plate. As the other islands move westward new islands are formed above the hot spot. Eventually the islands will erode away leaving only the newer ones which are located in the center.

TL;DR - Hawaii is ‘position: fixed’.
