What features form at a hot spot.?
They form volcanic mountains by heating magma that breaks through the crust. On the oceanic plates, these crustal hot spots can form chains of volcanic islands such as the Hawaiian Islands.
Does the hot spot form only under water?
No, a hot spot does not form only underwater. While many well-known hot spots, like the Hawaiian Islands, are located beneath the ocean, hot spots can also occur on land. These geological features are caused by plumes of hot mantle material rising to the Earth's surface, and they can create volcanic activity both under the ocean and on continental landmasses. Examples of land-based hot spots include the Yellowstone Caldera in the United States.
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.

magma

How do volcanoes form there?
its a hot spot
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.
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.
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
