What are the five Hot Spots on the Earth?

There are more than just five hot spots throughout the whole Earth. There is the Tasman hot spot, the Hawaii hot spot, the Galapagos hot spot, the Yellowstone hot spot, Easter Island hot spot, Bouvet hot spot, St. Helena hot spot, the Canary Islands hot spot, and then Iceland hot spot.


What chain of islands are formed because of a hot spot?

A Hot spot is stationary in time and burns though the solid lithosphere creating an island through volcanic eruptions. The lithosphere is separated into plates that move around so if a hot spot occurs under an oceanic plate it forms a island and as the plate moves (and the hot spot does not) it forms a chain of islands (as the plate moves over the hot spot). This is how the Hawaiian chain is formed.


Is eyjafjallajokull a hot spot volcano?

Yes, Eyjafjallajökull is not considered a hot spot volcano. It is a stratovolcano located in Iceland along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. Its eruptions are typically caused by the movement of these tectonic plates, rather than mantle plumes associated with hot spots.


Far from plate boundaries a volcano may form over a hot spot?

Yes, that is correct. Hot spots are areas of volcanic activity that occur far from tectonic plate boundaries. The magma from the hot spot rises to the surface, forming volcanoes such as the Hawaiian Islands.


What type of plate boundary is Easter Island located on?

Easter Island is located on a hot spot, which is not a plate boundary. The hot spot has created a chain of volcanic islands, with Easter Island being one of them.
