How are constructive and destructive forces alike?

(IF you mean constructive and destructive plates boudaries...)Constructive- Plates moving apart.Sometimes the earths plates move apart from one another. This is because of the convection currents that force them to move in opposite directionsMagma (from mantle, the thing underneath the earths crust) can escape. This can cause volcanoes. This magma cools and constructs new land like islands we can live on.Destructive-PLates moving together.When plates move together they sometimes don't agree.This happens when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate. The oceanic plate is lighter than the continental plate so has to go under the continental plate. As it goes under it gets destroyed because it is so hot! and because constructive is a volcano making land and destructive destroying the land


How are volcanos destructive forces?

...a flood of scolding hot magma that melts and destroys everything if touches while clouds if ash and poisonous gas rain everywhere...come on, use your brain.


Was Kilauea a constructive or destructive plate margin?

Niether. Kilauea is in the middle of the Pacific plate, thousands of miles from the nearest plate boundary. The volcanic activty is due to a hot spot.


Are hot springs and hot spots the same?

no but yes hot means hot but springs and spots are differ so the answer is no!


Why hot spots located at the tropical regions?

They aren't necessarily. Several well-known hot spots are in tropical areas, but a number are not. We have the Hawaiian and Galapagos hot spots, but we also have hot spots under Yellowstone, Iceland, and Antarctica.

How are hot spots formed?

from being under the mantle the gas pressure builds up and forces magma out forming a hot spot.

Are geological hot spots collisional?

No. Hot spots are not associated with plate boundaries.

Where do hot spots start?

hot spots begin at the boundary between the mantle and the outercore.


Where do hot spots originate?

Hot spots begin at where 2 plates move apart


Are the Deccan Plateau Hot Spots and Hawaii Hot Spots examples of intraplate volcanism?

They are, yes.


What causes hot spots on earth?

The flow of molten magma is what causes varying hot spots on Earth. Hot spots are also known to heat water beneath the ground.
