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.
What chain of islands are formed because of a hot spot?

What are the five Hot Spots on the Earth?
There are more than just five hot spots throughout the whole Earth. There is the Tasman hot spot, the Hawaii hot spot, the Galapagos hot spot, the Yellowstone hot spot, Easter Island hot spot, Bouvet hot spot, St. Helena hot spot, the Canary Islands hot spot, and then Iceland hot spot.
What type of plate boundary is creating kilauea?
None. Kilauea is over a hot spot, far from the nearest plate boundary.
What is the cause of the volcanoes in Hawaii?
The volcanoes in both Yellowstone and Hawaii are associated with hot spots. These are areas of especially hot mantle where some melting occurs. In Hawaii the hot spot melts oceanic crust, creating basaltic magma that most erupts effusively. In Yellowstone the hot spot melts continental crust, creating viscous rhyolitic magma that erupts explosively.
What type of plate boundary is creating mt kilauea?
Kilauea is not associated with a plate boundary, it and the other Hawaiian volcanoes are the result of a hot spot.
What is the hot spot What is the hot spot of earth?
hot spot are that places on the earth where there is the chances of magma emission

What causes the giant red spot on juipeter?
Hurricanes, which is bascially hot and cold fighting against each creating very strong winds, but that Giant Red Spot is a hurricane about the size of Earth.
Is villarrica located on a hot spot?
Villarrica is a hot spot
Why do some Hawaiian islands have active volcanoes and some don't?
The Hawaiian Islands are formed by volcanic activity from the Hawaiian hot spot. This hot spot causes magma to rise to the surface, creating new landmasses. The islands that currently have active volcanoes are located over the hot spot, while the older islands have moved away from it, causing their volcanoes to become dormant.
