What is a example of volcanic hotspot?
An example of a volcanic hotspot is the Hawaiian Islands. The hot spot underneath the Pacific Plate creates a chain of volcanic islands, with active volcanoes like Kilauea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii. As the Pacific Plate moves northwestward over the hotspot, new islands form while older ones become extinct and erode.
What plates are causing mauna kea to form?
The Pacific Plate and the Hawaiian Hotspot are two significant factors contributing to the formation of Mauna Kea. The movement of the Pacific Plate over the stationary hotspot beneath it is causing magma to rise and accumulate, leading to the formation of the volcano.
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
Hotspot volcanoes form over a fixed hotspot in the mantle, resulting in a chain of volcanoes as the tectonic plate moves over it, like the Hawaiian Islands. Volcanoes at plate boundaries are formed by the interaction of tectonic plates, where one plate is forced under another (subduction) or plates move apart (divergence), creating volcanic activity along the boundary, like the Ring of Fire.
What two properties of magma determine what kind of volcano will form?
The silica content and the gas content of magma are two properties that determine what kind of volcano will form. Magma with low silica content and low gas content tends to form effusive, shield volcanoes, while magma with high silica content and high gas content tends to form explosive, stratovolcanoes.
What surface feature would you expect to form if both a hot spot and a tectonic plate are stationary?
A large volcano over the hot spot (ex Olympus Mons on mars)
Can a hot spot form stratovolcano?
Yes. Stratovolcanoes can form over continental hot spots.
How does a hotspot form?
I don't know! lol
Do stratovolcanoes form on rift zones?
They can, though they are more dominant at subduction zones.
What type of volcano can form tuff?
Tuff is most often a product of stratovolcanoes.
What kind of volcanoes create islands?
Both shield volcanoes and stratovolcanoes can form islands.
Can a volcano form in the middle of the pacific plate?
Yes, volcanoes can form in the middle of tectonic plates, including the Pacific Plate. This type of volcano is usually known as a "hotspot volcano" and is caused by a hotspot of magma beneath the plate. The Hawaiian Islands are a prominent example of hotspot volcanoes that have formed in the middle of the Pacific Plate.
What is the history of stratovolcanoes?
They are ugly
Does the Samsung Galaxy s3 have a hotspot?
Yes, you can use your Galaxy S3 as a mobile hotspot. However, your cellular carrier may require a monthly mobile hotspot plan in order for the hotspot to function.
How do you get wifi personal hotspot on a iPod touch 4g?
you can connect from your ipod in a wifi hotspot but you cant turn it into a hotspot because the ipod is not a router
Where do hotspot volcanoes form?
Hotspot volcanoes form above mantle plumes, which are localized areas of intense heat and volcanic activity within the Earth's mantle. These mantle plumes create hotspots where magma rises to the surface, forming volcanoes. One well-known example is the Hawaiian Islands, which were formed by the movement of the Pacific Plate over a hotspot.
What is a hotspot not?
1) A Goodspot 2) A hotspot is not a type of giraffe or a flavour of milkshake
What is a disaster hotspot?
a disaster hotspot is an area in which disasters are more likely to occur
