A hot spot is formed on a point of the earths surface where strong upward convection currents or plumes of hot magma in the upper mantle push up below the plates of the lithosphere causing volcanic activity. no it doesn't
when the mantle is weak
No, there is a hot spot underyellowstone
Hot spot volcanos. As these age they can become island chains and eventually subsurface seamount arcs if the hot spot is in the ocean.
A geological hot spot is where hot magma rises from the earth's mantle, which creates volcanic activity.
No, Hot Spots can be in the center of plates. An example of a Hot Spot is the Hawaiian Islands.
A hot spot in the Earth's mantle.
its a hot spot
magma
follar
Magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust which is what causes hot spot volcanoes to form
Yes. Stratovolcanoes can form over continental hot spots.
No, there is a hot spot underyellowstone
A volcano
Hot spot volcanos. As these age they can become island chains and eventually subsurface seamount arcs if the hot spot is in the ocean.
two plates moving apart on a hot spot
Hot-spot volcanoes form at intraplate boundaries, where a plume of hot magma rises from deep within the mantle, creating volcanic activity away from tectonic plate boundaries.
The Hawaiian island that is directly over the hot spot is the oldest. As the Pacific Plate moves westward over the stationary hot spot, new volcanoes form, creating a chain of islands with the oldest island being the one that was formed first over the hot spot.
The Hawaiian Islands were formed by a hot spot in the middle of the Pacific Plate. Hot magma rises upward until it spills onto the sea floor, forming a hot spot.
