What is the difference between the volcanic activity that occurs at a hot spot and the volcanic activity at a subduction boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?
The hot spot volcanic activity is not dependent on the subduction and melting of oceanic crust. The hot spot simply appears to be a non-moving place in the Earth's mantle where heat rises from the interior.
When there is a restriction in a line or part what will commonly appear downstream of that spot?
If you are talking ac, then a spot of frost.If you are talking ac, then a spot of frost.
Where does subdution occur?
Subduction (I believe that's what you meant) occurs at CONVERGENT boundaries, where two plates collide and the less dense one remains and the denser one sinks. An example of subduction is two oceanic plates colliding. Oceanic plates contain mainly basalt, which is dense. The oceanic plate closer to a heat source (hot spot, volcano) would remain in place while the denser plate sinks (cold water is denser than hot water so it sinks) below the other. When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, the oceanic plate sinks because granite (what continental plates are composed of mainly) is less dense than basalt, therefore the oceanic plate would sink. However, when two continental plates collide, because both plates are made of granite and are not very dense, they push and shape the land into mountains.
What is the g-spot girl?
the g spot is the place when stimulated causes an orgasm.
What planet resembles Jupiter?
Neptune. It's Great dark spot resembles that of Jupiter's Great Red Spot.
Did japan form as a result of subduction or a hot spot?
Japan formed as a result of a subduction zone.
Is the volcano Cerro Azul on a subduction zone hot spot or divergent boundary?
hot spot
Is Mt Krakatoa a hot spot?
Krakatoa is not associated with a hot spot. It is associated with a subduction zone.
What was mount fuji's hot spot?
Mount Fuji is not associated with a hot spot. It is associated with a subduction zone.
Is Kilauea the result of subduction or a hot spot?
Kilauea is a result of a hot spot, not subduction. It is located on the Big Island of Hawaii, which sits over a volcanic hot spot in the Earth's mantle. This hot spot produces magma that rises to the surface, causing the formation of volcanoes like Kilauea. In contrast, subduction involves one tectonic plate sliding beneath another, leading to different volcanic activity.
Is the komagatake volcano a result of a hot spot or subduction?
ls it formed due to a hot spot or a plate boundary Komagatake
Is the hot spot near Mount Vesuvius the biggest in the world?
Vesuvius is a explosive subduction volcano, not a hot spot volcano.
Is Mt Stromboli over a hot spot?
No. Stromboli is associated with a subduction zone.
Was mount Shasta formed on a subduction zone?
yes, it is it is not a divergent or hot spot
Was Mount Vesuvius formed by a hot spot or subduction?
Mount Vesuvius was formed by subduction. It is located at a convergent boundary where the African Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate. The intense pressure and heat generated by this subduction process led to the formation of the volcano.
Is the cinnamon butte a hot spot or a subduction zone?
The Cinnamon Butte is a volcanic feature located in the Cascade Range of Oregon, and it is associated with a hot spot. This region is characterized by volcanic activity resulting from the upwelling of molten rock from deep within the Earth, rather than from tectonic plate interactions typical of subduction zones. Thus, Cinnamon Butte is primarily linked to a hot spot rather than a subduction zone.
What marks the spot where a plate is being subducted?
Normally a trench develops, marking the area of subduction.
