But both of these could have very similar other features. Hawaii and yellowstone are very alike and very different. The location of both places has more differences than similarities. First of all, Yellowstone and Hawaii are located in the middle of a plate. Hawaii is located on the Pacific plate. Yellowstone is located on the North American plate. In addition, they both have different crusts. Hawaii is located on oceanic crust this crust is thinner, and yellowstone is on continental crust which is thicker.
