What type of volcanoes form on a hot spot?
Shield volcanoes typically form on hot spots. These volcanoes have gentle slopes due to the low-viscosity basaltic lava they produce. Examples of shield volcanoes formed on hot spots include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and Galapagos Islands in Ecuador.
Do shield volcanoes form at hot spots?
Yes I am pretty sure.
Did plate tectonics on Mars form the volcanoes on Mars?
No. Mars does not have plate tectonics. The volcanoes on Mars are the result of hot spots.
Do volcanoes occur at hot spots?
No. Hot spots and subduction zones are two separate geogolgic settings in which volcanoes can form. Some hot spots may develop as a result of activity in a subduction zone, and continue activity after subduction has ended or move away.
What do hot spots do?
flood basalts and volcanoes
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.
What do hot spots form?
flood basalts and volcanoes
Where do shield volcanoes form?
at hot spots(a place where volcanoes are very active)
Volcanoes that form far from plate boundaries form as the result as?
Hot spots!
Do shield volcanoes form at hot spots?
Yes I am pretty sure.
Other than volcanoes what can hot spots form?
flood basalts
What type of volcanoes form on a hot spot?
Shield volcanoes typically form on hot spots. These volcanoes have gentle slopes due to the low-viscosity basaltic lava they produce. Examples of shield volcanoes formed on hot spots include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and Galapagos Islands in Ecuador.
Why do they have volcanoes?
Volcanoes form from either techtonic plates crashing together or from hot spots under the earth
What kind of boundary do Shield volcanoes form?
hot spots and convergent boundaries
Do solitary volcanoes form as a result of hot spots?
the hotspots of volcanoes are when they are near tectonic plates when diverting or coliding
Did plate tectonics on Mars form the volcanoes on Mars?
No. Mars does not have plate tectonics. The volcanoes on Mars are the result of hot spots.
How are volcanoes different from volcanoes in other places?
Hot spot volcanoes such as those in Hawaii and the Yellowstone Caldera form as a result of extra hot material rising from deep within the mantle. While most volcanoes can only form near plate boundaries, hot spot volcanoes can form in the middle of a tectonic plate. Unlike at subduction zones, which are generally associated with stratovolcanoes, hot spots that form under oceanic crust typically produce shield volcanoes. Hot spots under continental crust can be more complicated and have produced every variety of volcano.
