Magma rises through a gap in the crust onto the ocean floor, cools, and hardens. This procedure repeatedly happens. Once there is a island with a volcano on it, the magma fills the magma chamber inside the hollow volcano, pressure builds, and eventually bursts, then the lava (magma above ground) cools and hardens, creating new land. Then the crust shifts, but the hot spot does not, so the island shifts over and the hot spot continues to spew magma/lava in its origanal spot, even though it is on a new part of the sea floor.
What else can I help you with?
The formation of the Hawaiian Islands is associated with what kind of boundary?
The formation of the Hawaiian Islands is associated with a hotspot boundary. A hotspot is a location where magma rises to the surface through the mantle, creating a volcanic island chain, like the Hawaiian Islands.
Are the largest volcanoes on earth by volume are found on hot spots tectonic spreading centers or oceanic transform faults?
The largest volcanoes on Earth by volume are typically found on hot spots, such as the Hawaiian Islands. Hot spots are stationary sources of volcanic activity that form large shield volcanoes over time. Tectonic spreading centers and oceanic transform faults are not typically associated with the formation of large volcanoes.
What do hot spots in earth produce?
Hot spots in Earth produce volcanic activity, creating regions of intense heat and magma upwelling from deep within the mantle. This can result in the formation of volcanic islands, like the Hawaiian Islands, as tectonic plates move over the stationary hot spot.
What features form at a hot spot.?
They form volcanic mountains by heating magma that breaks through the crust. On the oceanic plates, these crustal hot spots can form chains of volcanic islands such as the Hawaiian Islands.
What is the famous example of hot spots?
One famous example of hot spots is the Hawaiian Islands. These islands were formed by a hot spot in the Earth's mantle that has created a chain of volcanic islands as the Pacific Plate moves over it. The most well-known island in this chain is Hawaii, which is home to the active volcano Kilauea.
How do hot spots and the plate tectonics theory account for the different ages of the Hawaiian Islands?
because
What is an example of a hot-spot volcano?
The Hawaiian islands, Iceland, and Yellowstone are three examples of hot spots.

How do hot spots and the plate tectonics theory account for the different ages of Hawaiian Islands?
it is because every island is formed at a different time when a volcano erupts so in theory if everything stayed the same except for the island in a million years or so the Hawaiian islands could in fact reach all the way to japan or south America
The Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone are associated with which of the three zones of volcanism?
The type of zone of volcanism that the Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone National Park are associated with is called a Hot Spot. Volcanic places that are formed by mantle plumes are called Hot Spots.
What do hot spots in earth produce?
Hot spots in Earth produce volcanic activity, creating regions of intense heat and magma upwelling from deep within the mantle. This can result in the formation of volcanic islands, like the Hawaiian Islands, as tectonic plates move over the stationary hot spot.
Does island have a lot of volcanoes because it is on the boundary of two plates?
Many volcanic islands are a product of plate boundaries, but some, such as the Hawaiian islands, form over hot spots away from plate boundaries.

Islands such as the Hawaiian islands are made by what?
The Hawaiian Island are created by hot spots. Hot spots are a peice of the mantle that has been thrust into the crust and contains magna. This creates an underwater volcano. The lava spewing out of the volcano rises to the surface and cools, creating land. This process continues until there is an island. Over time however, the tectonic plate that the island is on will move and the area will no longer be on top of the hot spot and it will slowly wither away. A new island will began to form in it's place.
Are hot spots near plate boundaries?
No, Hot Spots can be in the center of plates. An example of a Hot Spot is the Hawaiian Islands.
