Is the island of Hawaii an active hot spot?
location of 2 U.S. volcanoes thought to be associated with hot spots
What is an unusually hot area deep in Earths mantle that melts the crust above it and forms a volcano?
A hot spot. An example of a hot spot are the islands in Hawaii which were made from hot spots.
Are the Deccan Plateau Hot Spots and Hawaii Hot Spots examples of intraplate volcanism?
Yes, both the Deccan Plateau Hot Spot in India and the Hawaii Hot Spot in the Pacific are examples of intraplate volcanism. Intraplate volcanism occurs within the interior of tectonic plates, away from plate boundaries, and is often associated with hot spots that generate mantle plumes leading to volcanic activity.
Where are 2 hot spots located in the us?
Yellowstone and Hawaii
What will eventually happen to the active volcanoes on island of Hawaii which is now over the hot spots?
Hawaii sits on the moving Pacific plate. Beneath it is a powerful hot spot. Eventually, the plates movement will carry the island of hawaii away from the hot spot.
Where do most volcanos occur on earth surface?
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).
What volcanoes of Hawaii and other places far from tectonic plate boundaries are known as?
They are known as hot spots.
What are the deccan plateau hot spots and hawaii hot spots examples of?
They are examples of the flow of heat from the interior of the Earth to the surface through a fixed spot in the mantle which melts through the moving crust. Better known as a 'hot spot'.
What are hot spots in the crust caused by?
Hot spots in the crust are caused by upwelling of magma from deep within the Earth's mantle, creating localized areas of intense volcanic activity. These hot spots can result in volcanic eruptions and the formation of volcanic islands or seamounts. Examples of hot spots include Hawaii and Yellowstone.
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 is associated with deep mantle hot spots?
Deep mantle hot spots are associated with the presence of unusually hot and stationary upwellings of magma beneath the Earth's surface. These hot spots can produce volcanic activity and result in the formation of volcanic island chains or seamounts over time as tectonic plates move over the stationary hot spot. One famous example is the Hawaiian Islands formed by the Hawaiian hot spot.
Can hot-spots cause earthquakes?
movements due occur on land cause by a hot spots. a good example is kilauea in hawaii. its still rumbling because its on the hot spot. so yes, hot spots can generate an earthquake depending on the movement of the plates.
