Is Yellowstone located at a divergent plate boundary?

Yellowstone is situated within a tectonic plate, not at a plate boundary! Volcanic activity is thought to be as a result of a mantle plume, much like the volcanism that created the Hawaiian Island chain.

How does Hawaii's hot spot doesn't display the typical relationship between volcanoes and plate boundaries yet it does provide evidence of plate tectonics how?

Hawaii's hot spot is a volcanic region located in the middle of the Pacific Plate, far from any tectonic plate boundary, which contrasts with the typical association of volcanoes with boundaries like subduction zones or rift zones. The hot spot is caused by a plume of hot mantle material rising to the surface, creating volcanic activity as the tectonic plate moves over it. This phenomenon provides evidence of plate tectonics by illustrating how plates can drift over stationary hot spots, leading to the formation of a chain of islands, like the Hawaiian Islands, that record the plate's movement over time. Thus, while the hot spot itself doesn't align with the usual plate boundary volcanic activity, it supports the broader understanding of tectonic processes.


What type of plate boundary is creating mt kilauea?

Kilauea is not associated with a plate boundary, it and the other Hawaiian volcanoes are the result of a hot spot.


Definition for hot plate?
