      can we combine the states in that case? Having 50 just seems excessive

      No, the old Hawaiian islands and seamounts on the Pacific plate get submerged under the North American plate so they’re not any more related that the flat parts of the seafloor are on the Pacific plate

      I read somewhere if you drained all the water from earth, all the islands and continents would be part of a giant 20000 mile archipelago too.

      The Hawaiian islands end at the subduction zone that is the reason the Aleutians are there. The Hawaiian islands move, too. So while they are separate, they are still super cool.

      Does this mean that when there was a land bridge connecting Alaska and Russia that there was likely a similar bridge connecting all of these down to Hawaii?

      They’re basically part of one archipelago in the same way that two cars crashing into each other are basically one big car.
