What is a mid-plate volcano?
A mid-plate volcano, also known as a hot-spot, is an eruption of lava that is NOT on a plate boundary. It occurs right in the middle of a tectonic plate instead of on the boundary of one of them. An example of one is in Hawaii.
Is Yellowstone located at a divergent plate boundary?
Yellowstone is situated within a tectonic plate, not at a plate boundary! Volcanic activity is thought to be as a result of a mantle plume, much like the volcanism that created the Hawaiian Island chain.
What type of boundary is yellowstone?
Yellowstone is not on a plate boundary, but is a 'hotspot' where magma seeps from the mantle to the surface, or near the surface. The case is the same for Hawaii.
What boundary is the mauna loa on?
If we consult a map showing tectonic plates, we can see that Mauna Loa is on the Pacific plate. The general rule is that volcanic activity usually appears along plate boundaries, but Mauna Loa and the Hawaiian Islands sit on what is called a hot spot in approximately the middle of Pacific plate.
