Why are many of the Hawaiian islands volcanoes extinct?
Due to plate techtonics, most of the Hawaiian Islands have been moved away from the "hot spot" in the earth's crust that is slowly extruding new islands. The big Island of Hawaii is the current location of that hot spot.
Define relatives and absolute location?
Relative location is when a spot is found by using landmarks around the spot. Absolute location is the exact coordinates of the place in question.
What are the coordinates for the canary Island hot spot?
Latitude/Longitude 28° 06'N, 15° 24'W
What type of land forms from a hot spot?
islands like Hawaii
Why do some Hawaiian islands have active volcanoes and some don't?
The Hawaiian Islands are formed by volcanic activity from the Hawaiian hot spot. This hot spot causes magma to rise to the surface, creating new landmasses. The islands that currently have active volcanoes are located over the hot spot, while the older islands have moved away from it, causing their volcanoes to become dormant.
Canary Islands Hot Spot?
The Canary hotspot is an area located just off of the northwestern coast of Africa within the Canary Islands. This is made up of a volcanic hotspot that has an underlying mantle plume that is considered to be quite deep under the earthâ??s surface.
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 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.

How did the hot spot create the Hawaiian islands?
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.
How were long-active mid-oceanic volcanic islands formed?
Mid-ocean volcanic islands are usually formed due to the location of a 'hot spot' in the Earth's mantle from which molten material continuously is created and flows to the surface.
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 is the location of the hydrosphere?
location is a spot of land or water
What is the location of the hydrosphere's?

Is the formation of the Hawaiian Islands is one example of volcanoes forming over a hot spot?
Yes. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by hot spot volcanoes.
What location at 40 degrees north and 160 degrees west in?
40 N 160 W is an isolated spot in the North Pacific Ocean, far to the north of the Hawaiian Islands.
