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
What is the approxamiate location of canary hot spot islands?
32 degrees North 18 degrees West
What American island were created from hot spot?
Hawaii
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.
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.
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 are the coordinates of the Hawaii hot spot?
There are not exact coordinates as the hot spot covers a large area. However, it appears to be centered under the eastern part of the Big Island, so a decent approximation would be 19.3° N 155.3° W

the youldest island
Does Hawaii have the only hot spot?
No. There are many hotspots on Earth. To list a few, there are hot spots located under the Galapagos Islands, north central Arizona, Yellowstone, the Canary Islands, the Azores, and Ross Island in Antarctica.
What is the approxamiate location of canary hot spot islands?
32 degrees North 18 degrees West

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
What is the Approximation of the canary island hot spot?
32 degrees North and 18 degrees West It's not 18 degrees West it's 18 degrees East....... There's a huge difference... It's on the other side of the world.
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.
