What else can I help you with?
Do hot spots form only under oceanic crust?
No, there is a hot spot underyellowstone
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 are four things that can happen at plate boundaries?
volcanoes,mid ocean ridges,fold mountains and hot spots
What characteristics does an abnormal technetium heart scan have?
In an abnormal technetium heart scan, hot spots reveal damage to the heart. The larger the hot spots, the poorer the patient's prognosis.
What is an example of a hot-spot volcano?
The Hawaiian islands, Iceland, and Yellowstone are three examples of hot spots.
What is the area that creates volcanic mountains?
There are two areas where volcanic mountains often form. They are subduction zones and hot spots.
How do volcanic mountains form at locations that are not near plate boundaries?
They are explained as 'hot spots' in the Earth's mantle, such as Yellowstone and the Hawaiian Island Chain, where heat from the Earth's interior is rising in a suspected current to the always moving crust.
What kind of boundary do Shield volcanoes form?
hot spots and convergent boundaries
What features form at a hot spot.?
They form volcanic mountains by heating magma that breaks through the crust. On the oceanic plates, these crustal hot spots can form chains of volcanic islands such as the Hawaiian Islands.
How do igneous rocks form at hot spots?
The lava volcanoe shoots the igneous rocks out of it and then it farts hot spots
How do mountains form over hot spots?
Mountains can form over hot spots when a tectonic plate moves over a persistent plume of hot magma rising from deep within the Earth's mantle. As the plate moves, the magma pierces through its crust, causing volcanic activity that builds up over time to form mountains. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic chains or individual volcanoes, depending on the movement of the tectonic plate.
Can a hot spot form stratovolcano?
Yes. Stratovolcanoes can form over continental hot spots.
When mountains are formed such as by uplift or hot spots away from a convergence they are called?
Mid-plate.
What do hot spots form?
flood basalts and volcanoes
How do seamounts normally form?
Over hot spots.
What processes found at hot spots will help form the following rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by continental plates colliding. These are Himalayan or Alps mountains. Sedimentary rock is also made into mountains when it is pushed up where tectonic plates collide.
Are shield volcanoes hot spots?
Shield volcanoes are not hot spots but they are associated with them. However, such volcanoes can also form at rift zones.
