When is the best time of year to visit the Canary Islands?
The best time to visit the Canary Islands is during the spring. The summer is also a good time, with the hot summer weather, but it will be busier that time of year.
How do hot spots and the plate tectonics theory account for the different ages of Hawaiian Islands?
it is because every island is formed at a different time when a volcano erupts so in theory if everything stayed the same except for the island in a million years or so the Hawaiian islands could in fact reach all the way to japan or south America
Did a flood create the Hawaiian Islands?
No, there is a hot spot on the ocean floor and over time, the lava coming out of the underwater volcanoes created land that is known as the Hawaiian Islands.
Is there snow and ice on some islands in japan?
Yes. In the mountains, in winter, there is snow and ice on some islands in Japan. There are photographs of monkeys bathing in hot springs in Japan, and all around the chimps (and the hot springs) is a lot of snow.
How did the hot spot create in the hawaian island?
The ejection of magma from the hot spot along with the movement of the techtonic plate over a long period of time formed the islands
Were can hotspot volcanoes be located?
The most famous hot spot volcano is Hawaii as all the Hawaiian islands were formed by them.
Why do some Hawaiian islands have active volcanoes and some don't?
All of the Hawaiian islands are volcanic in origin. The volcanoes are fed by a hot spot, where extra hot material wells up in the mantle, generating magma. This hot spot generally stays in one place while the Pacific Plate above it moves. As this happens, older volcanoes are carried away from the hot spot and lose their source of magma.
When is the best time to travel to Grand Cayman island?
Cayman Islands are a hot tropical climate all year round with short rains May -October. It appears that the best month to come is in February.
How did the hot spot create the Hawaiian islands?
There is a hot spot under the islands that keeps burning a hole in the same spot even thought the plate is moving. Hence the chain of islands.
How did a hot spot creates the hawaiin islands?
a hot spot created the hawaiin islands because the hot spot exploted out a volcano then hit the ground dried and became the island
Which natural process created the Galapagos Islands?
The Galapagos Islands were formed through volcanic activity, specifically a hot spot beneath the Earth's crust that created a series of underwater volcanoes. Over time, the accumulation of erupted lava built up layers to form the islands.
How is Hawaii a volcano?
AnswerHawaii is a volcanic chain of islands formed over a 'hot spot' in the Earth's mantle. As the Pacific tectonic plate slowly moves over the hot spot, volcanoes rise from the seafloor, forming the islands. A new, future Hawaiian island is rising from the seafloor at this time. As the islands move away from the hot spot, the volcanoes become dormant, resulting in a chain of eroding mountains.
