What role do volcanoes play in the formation of the galapagos islands?
The volcanic set up of the Islands can be explained by looking at the theories of Plate Tectonics and the Hot Spot. The platform where the Galapagos Islands started their volcanic growth lies right on top of the Nazca Plate. In Galapagos, the Islands to the East are older than those to the West, this implies that the Galapagos Hot Spot is right under the western Islands of Isabela and Fernandina.
What tectonic plate is the wolf volcano on?
The tallest of all the Galapagos volcanoes is Wolf Volcano. The Galapagos Archipelago lies over an oceanic platform formed by the a volcanic hotspot underneath the Nazca tectonic plate
