the new Hawaiian island is forming by the pacific plate going over hot spots
Fernandina Island is part of the Galapagos Islands, which sit on the Nazca Plate in the Pacific Ocean.
Yes, Rhode Island is located on the North American Plate, which is part of the larger system of plate tectonics. While Rhode Island is not situated on a plate boundary where major tectonic activity occurs, the movement of the plates can still affect the region through earthquakes and other geological processes.
Some tectonic plates are the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate.
New Jersey is located on the North American tectonic plate.
Oklahoma is situated in the middle of the North American plate.
yes because as the tectonic plate its on moves so does a hot spot (unserwater volcano) wich creates those islands.supposedly the islands name is going to be "loihi".
It is forming from a hot spot underneath the tectonic plate.
The Hawaiian Islands were formed by a hot spot in the Earth's mantle beneath the Pacific tectonic plate. As the plate moved over the hot spot, magma rose to the surface and created the volcanoes that formed the islands. This process continues to this day, with the newest island, Loihi, currently being formed underwater south of the Big Island.
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
Loihi is a volcano located underwater off the coast of Hawaii. Its eruptions are caused by the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates, specifically the Pacific Plate moving over the Hawaiian hotspot. This movement allows magma to rise to the surface and erupt, gradually building the Loihi seamount.
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
Results can be such as earthquakes, or mountains and volcanoes forming.
Rhode island doesn't sit upon a tectonic plate
The Caribbean tectonic plate is the plate upon which Aruba is located.Specifically, Aruba is an arid, sunny island in the southernmost Caribbean Sea. It is only 17 miles (27 kilometers) off the coast of the northern South American country of Venezuela. But the island is not part of that continent or of that continent's tectonic plate.
Actually, people think that Panama is on the Central America Tectonic plate, but it's really on a little tectonic plate, called the Panama Tectonic Plate.
When a volcanic island chain is formed, the tectonic plate moves over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle. The hotspot remains stationary while the plate moves, resulting in a series of volcanic islands forming in a line as the plate moves over the hotspot.
Fernandina Island is part of the Galapagos Islands, which sit on the Nazca Plate in the Pacific Ocean.
