Intraplate volcanism may be associated with what formation?
Hot Spots
Are the Deccan Plateau Hot Spots and Hawaii Hot Spots examples of intraplate volcanism?
They are, yes.
What is the source of magma for intraplate volcanism?
Rift zone
Are the volcanoes at Banks Peninsula shield or stratovolcanoes?
Banks Peninsula is a complex of extinct shield volcanoes resulting from intraplate or "hotspot" volcanism 8-11 million years ago, built mainly from alkali-basalt lavas. In some shield volcano eruptions, basaltic lava pours out of a long fissure instead of a central vent. This appears to have occured in the case of the craters that eventually eroded to form the Lyttleton and Akaroa Harbours. The Lyttleton volcano formed first (11-10 million years ago) and the Akaroa volcano later (9-8 million years ago). The Banks Peninsula complex formed at the margin of the area affected by compressional tectonics on the Pacific/Australian Plate boundary. Eruptions on the Peninsula continued until about 6 million years ago, which coincides roughly with the epoch at which compressional tectonics became established in the Canterbury and Otago regions. Geologists therefore speculate that the onset of compressional tectonics (of the sort dramatically witnessed in Canterbury in 2010/2011) turned off the alkaline intraplate volcanism of southern New Zealand; i.e., it is the reason that these volcanos have been extinct for millions of years.

Is there alive volcano under the north pole?
Recent expeditions under the arctic ice reveal active volcanism.
How does a volcano occur in the middle of a continental or oceanic plate?
Intraplate volcanism.
Intraplate volcanism may be associated with what formation?
Hot Spots
What kind of geologic features are associated with intraplate volcanism?
figure it out urself
Is Yellowstone a intraplate volcanism?
Yes, because it is not a plate boundary...and Wikipedia said it is. Jim
Are the Deccan Plateau Hot Spots and Hawaii Hot Spots examples of intraplate volcanism?
They are, yes.
What has the author Neil M Ribe written?
Neil M. Ribe has written: 'Towards a dynamic model of intraplate volcanism'
Give 2 examples of intraplate volcanoes with in the United States?
An intraplate volcano (or hotspot volcano) is one that is not located on a plate boundary. The Big Island of Hawaii is one example located within the Pacific Plate. In addition, Yellowstone National Park is located over a continental hotspot in the North American Plate. For a longer discussion of plate boundaries and their respective volcanoes, see the Plate Tectonics section. For more information regarding intraplate volcanoes see Hotspots.
What type of volcanoes formed the Hawaiian islands?
The Hawiian islands are formed by shield volcanoes.
What is the source of magma for intraplate volcanism?
Rift zone
What is the igneous activity in Yellowstone National Park is associated with what tectonic setting?
intraplate setting
What may form in an intraplate area over a rising plume of hot mantle material?
A volcano. See the excellent book "Krakatoa" by Simon Winchester.
