A hot spot is formed on a point of the earths surface where strong upward convection currents or plumes of hot magma in the upper mantle push up below the plates of the lithosphere causing volcanic activity. no it doesn't
when the mantle is weak
What else can I help you with?
At what type of boundary do hot-spot volcanoes form at?
Hot-spot volcanoes form at intraplate boundaries, where a plume of hot magma rises from deep within the mantle, creating volcanic activity away from tectonic plate boundaries.
Which of the hawaiian islands is the oldest- the island directly over the hot spot or the island that is farhest from the hot spot?
The Hawaiian island that is directly over the hot spot is the oldest. As the Pacific Plate moves westward over the stationary hot spot, new volcanoes form, creating a chain of islands with the oldest island being the one that was formed first over the hot spot.
How does an island chain form over geologic 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.
What type of boundary does a hot spot have?
A hot spot is not associated with a plate boundary.
Is villarrica located on a hot spot?
Villarrica is a hot spot
How do volcanoes form there?
its a hot spot
What features form a hot spot volcano form?
magma
How does a volcanic hot spot form?
follar
What causes hot spot volcanoes form?
Magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust which is what causes hot spot volcanoes to form
Can a hot spot form stratovolcano?
Yes. Stratovolcanoes can form over continental hot spots.
Do hot spots form only under oceanic crust?
No, there is a hot spot underyellowstone
What may form with continuous eruptions at a hot spot?
A volcano
What kind of mountains form from hot spots?
Hot spot volcanos. As these age they can become island chains and eventually subsurface seamount arcs if the hot spot is in the ocean.
How do valcanos form?
two plates moving apart on a hot spot
At what type of boundary do hot-spot volcanoes form at?
Hot-spot volcanoes form at intraplate boundaries, where a plume of hot magma rises from deep within the mantle, creating volcanic activity away from tectonic plate boundaries.
Which of the hawaiian islands is the oldest- the island directly over the hot spot or the island that is farhest from the hot spot?
The Hawaiian island that is directly over the hot spot is the oldest. As the Pacific Plate moves westward over the stationary hot spot, new volcanoes form, creating a chain of islands with the oldest island being the one that was formed first over the hot spot.
How did hawaiin islands form?
The Hawaiian Islands were formed by a hot spot in the middle of the Pacific Plate. Hot magma rises upward until it spills onto the sea floor, forming a hot spot.
