Does mt Fuji lie on a hot spot?
No, Mount Fuji does not lie on a hot spot. It is part of the volcanic arc associated with the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate. This tectonic activity, rather than a hot spot, contributes to its volcanic activity and formation. Hot spots are typically associated with volcanic islands like the Hawaiian Islands, which are formed by a different tectonic process.
Where does Bermuda triangle lie?
The Bermuda Triangle's points are located at Miami Florida, San Juan Puerto Rico, and Bermuda.
What is the effect of a hot spot on an existing volcano?
They will all dies xdHot spot often lie in the middle of continental or oceanic plates far from any plate boundaries.
Where does the bass strait hot spot now lie?
The Bass Strait hot spot is currently located beneath the Bass Strait, which separates Tasmania from the Australian mainland. This geological feature is associated with volcanic activity and is thought to contribute to the region's unique geological and ecological characteristics. The hot spot has influenced the formation of various underwater and coastal landscapes in the area.
What plate is Kilauea on?
Mount Kilauea (in Hawaii) does not lie on a plate boundary. The Hawaiian volcanoes occur in the middle of an oceanic plate.This lead people to theorize that Hawaii must lie over a hot spot on the earth caused by some underlying mechanism. The concept of a mantle plume was developed to explain the Hawaiian hot spot, and the theory of mantle plumes has become something of a geological dogma. Recent research papers on the subject hotly contest the existence of mantle plumes and provide other mechanisms to explain hot spots. See the links below.
Why does the Australian mainland have no active volcanoes?
The Australian mainland doesn't have any active volcanoes at this time because it doesn't lie over any plate boundaries. Also, it isn't over any hot spot in the mantle at the present time. It has had volcanic activity in the past.
What is the place where volcanoes form in the middle of plates called?
The place where volcanoes form in the middle of plates is called a hot spot. Hot spots are areas of high volcanic activity caused by a rising plume of hot mantle material that melts through the Earth's crust, creating volcanic eruptions. An example of a hot spot is the Hawaiian Islands.
Why is Hawaii volcanic even though it does not lie on a fault line?
Hawaii is volcanic because it sits over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle, allowing magma to rise up and create volcanic activity. Hot spots are not necessarily associated with tectonic plate boundaries or fault lines.
What latitude zone does the US and Europe lie in?
they lie in the middle latitude zone where it is hot and cold
How far north is Bermuda from the Caribbean?
Bermuda is located approximately 1,000 kilometers (about 620 miles) north of the Caribbean region. It is situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, while the Caribbean islands lie to the south of it. The closest Caribbean islands, such as the Bahamas, are still around 700 kilometers (about 430 miles) to the south of Bermuda. This geographic positioning makes Bermuda distinct from the Caribbean islands both in climate and culture.
Is Hawaii considered a hot spot for volcanic activity because it does not lie on the plate boundaries?
Yes. --Hawaii moves with the Pacific Plate, and (after thousands of years) the volcanoes move away from the hot spot. As a result, there is a long chain of extinct volcanoes behind the Big Island
How hot is Pierre Henderson?
Pierre Henderson is extreamly hot like no lie...... i love himm!
