What is a hot plume model?
The theory that plates diverge where large columns of hot magma, called hot spots, rise from the lower mantle
A very long lived magma source located deep in the mantle is called?
The term hot spot is used to describe a very long-lived magma source located deep in the mantle. J. Tuzo Wilson is credited with having originated the concept of hot spots.
What is mantle plume?
A mantle plume is a rising mass of extra hot mantle rock. Mantle plumes are though to be the cause of volcanic activity away from plate boundaries.
What is a hot spot volcano?
A volcano formed by a rising plume of magma that is not located at a plate boundary.
What does water do in hot rock below the surface of a volcano?
The water evaporates and emerges in a plume of very hot water vapour. An example is the geysers in Yellowstone Park, USA.

What is a hot spot volcano?
A volcano formed by a rising plume of magma that is not located at a plate boundary.
How did the Hawaiian volcanoes form?
Deep within the mantle of the planet Earth, there is something very hot, possibly the result of a concentration of radioactive material; this creates a plume of hot magma, which when it reaches the crust, forms volcanoes. Due to continental drift, the location of the plume relative to the crust is slowly shifting, thereby generating a whole chain of volcanoes from a single plume.
What is an Earth's hotspot?
A place where hot mantle material rises in a semi-permanent plume, and affects the overlying crust.
What is a hotspot in a volcano?
A place where hot mantle material rises in a semi-permanent plume, and affects the overlying crust.
