Why are tsunamis so destructive?

Because of how moving energy transmitted through water hits the ground and that moving water has to stop suddenly and all that energy of the moving water piles up in one spot.


How are hot spot volcanoes different from volcanoes in other places?

Hot spot volcanoes such as those in Hawaii and the Yellowstone Caldera form as a result of extra hot material rising from deep within the mantle. While most volcanoes can only form near plate boundaries, hot spot volcanoes can form in the middle of a tectonic plate. Unlike at subduction zones, which are generally associated with stratovolcanoes, hot spots that form under oceanic crust typically produce shield volcanoes. Hot spots under continental crust can be more complicated and have produced every variety of volcano.


How does an island chain form over geologic hot spot?

A Hot spot is stationary in time and burns though the solid lithosphere creating an island through volcanic eruptions. The lithosphere is separated into plates that move around so if a hot spot occurs under an oceanic plate it forms a island and as the plate moves (and the hot spot does not) it forms a chain of islands (as the plate moves over the hot spot). This is how the Hawaiian chain is formed.


Why does magma form at a hot spot?

Magma form at a hot spot due to a focusing of conditions that lead to melting. This is sometime caused by a mantle plume, but is NOT always the case.

How are hot spot volcanoes different from volcanoes in in other places?

Hot spot volcanoes such as those in Hawaii and the Yellowstone Caldera form as a result of extra hot material rising from deep within the mantle. While most volcanoes can only form near plate boundaries, hot spot volcanoes can form in the middle of a tectonic plate. Unlike at subduction zones, which are generally associated with stratovolcanoes, hot spots that form under oceanic crust typically produce shield volcanoes.
