Which of the hawaiian islands is the oldest- the island directly over the hot spot or the island that is farhest from the hot spot?
the youldest island
When a hot spot stays put but the plate above it keeps moving what happens?
It leaves an island arc or chain if the hot spot is in the ocean. A great example of this is the Hawaiian Island chain. There is another hot spot in the North American plate which now resides in Yellowstone National park. This hot spot simply leaves a chain of extinct volcanic areas as the continental plate moves over it.
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.
Is wizard island a hot spot volcano?
No. Wizard Island is part of Mount Mazama, which is a subduction zone volcano.
How is a hot spot trail different from a volcanic island arc?
A hot spot trail is the result of a plate moving over a stationary hot spot. Only the volcanoes near the hot spot. Those away from it in the direction of the plate's movement are extinct. A volcanic island arc is a chain of volcanoes that forms at a subduction zone, where one oceanic plate slides beneath another. The volcanoes in such an arc will be largely active.
How did a hot spot creates the hawaiin islands?
a hot spot created the hawaiin islands because the hot spot exploted out a volcano then hit the ground dried and became the island
How did the hot spot created the hawaiian island?
There is a hot spot under the islands that keeps burning a hole in the same spot even thought the plate is moving. Hence the chain of islands.

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.
The hawaiian island formed over a?
a hot spot
How does an island chain form over geologic hot spot?

How do you describe the Philippines as an archipelago?
An archipelago is a geographical series of islands usually formed when a volcanic 'hot spot' beneath the Earth's crust punches out a new island which rises to above sea level. As plate tectonics, or continental drift, slowly moves the island along with the plate. A new island can be created above the hot spot in the same place as the previous island and in this way a string or 'archipelago' is slowly created.
What chain of islands are formed because of a 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 kind of mountains form from hot spots?
Hot spot volcanos. As these age they can become island chains and eventually subsurface seamount arcs if the hot spot is in the ocean.
When was American Hot Wax created?
American Hot Wax was created in 1978.
