What else can I help you with?
Do hot spots form only under oceanic crust?
No, there is a hot spot underyellowstone
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.
What is a geological hot spot?
A geological hot spot is where hot magma rises from the earth's mantle, which creates volcanic activity.
Are hot spots near plate boundaries?
No, Hot Spots can be in the center of plates. An example of a Hot Spot is the Hawaiian Islands.
What is Yellowstone formed on?
A hot spot in the Earth's mantle.
How do volcanoes form there?
its a hot spot
What features form a hot spot volcano form?
magma
How does a volcanic hot spot form?
follar
What causes hot spot volcanoes form?
Magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust which is what causes hot spot volcanoes to form
Can a hot spot form stratovolcano?
Yes. Stratovolcanoes can form over continental hot spots.
Do hot spots form only under oceanic crust?
No, there is a hot spot underyellowstone
What may form with continuous eruptions at a hot spot?
A volcano
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.
How do valcanos form?
two plates moving apart on a hot spot
At what type of boundary do hot-spot volcanoes form at?
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.
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 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.
How did hawaiin islands form?
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.
