When a volcano moves away from a hot spot, it typically becomes inactive as the magma supply from the hot spot diminishes. Over time, the volcano may erode and eventually subside, leading to the formation of a seamount if it is underwater. Meanwhile, a new volcano may form over the hot spot as the tectonic plate continues to move, creating a chain of volcanic islands or seamounts. This process is evident in locations like the Hawaiian Islands.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when the volcano moves away from the hot spot?
The youngest Hawaiian island is the one directly over the hotspot and their age increases as they move further away.
Why do volcanoes at a hot spot eventually become extinct?
The plate that the volcano is on moves while the hot spot does not. The volcano is eventually carried away from the hot spot and no longer has a source of magma.
Why do volcanoes at hot spots eventually become extinct?
As the tectonic plate moves, the volcano above the hot spot moves away from the magma source, causing it to become cut off from its energy supply and eventually go dormant. Without a continuous source of magma to fuel eruptions, the volcano gradually becomes extinct.
If a tectonic plate moves westward over a hot spot the youngest volcanic island what will the oldest volcano be?
A volcano. :p. A STOP SLACKING A STUDY PEEPS. CHEEZUZ '-'
How does a hot make a chain of volcanoes?
A hot spot is not on a volcano, it is something that can lead to volcano formation. The deeper you go into the earth, the hotter it gets. Sometimes especially hot material wells up from deep within the mantle in what is called a mantle plume. As the plume nears the crust some of it melts. This magma can rise through the crust to form volcanoes.

The Hawaiian Islands are formed by these ocean structures?
sea mountsThe Hawaiian islands were formed by volcanoes. Volcanoes have two methods of formation, convergence of tectonic plates at the edges of the plates, and hot spots under the middle of plates. The Hawaiian islands and others in that area were formed when magma from the mantle rose to Earth's surface through a certain spot in the middle of the plate (i.e., the Pacific Plate for the Hawaiian Islands). This hot spot is situated beneath the center of the plate, and the volcano above moves with the plate as it moves, but the hot spot stays in place. This causes the original volcano to become extinct when its move cuts it off from its magma source and an island is born. A new volcano will then form above the hot spot again. This process repeats as the plate moves and a string of volcanoes (and eventually, islands) will dot the surface of the plate as the movement continues away from the hot spot.

What type of volcano is formed at a hot spot?
A shield volcano
Is the hot spot near Mount Vesuvius the biggest in the world?
Vesuvius is a explosive subduction volcano, not a hot spot volcano.
Is the Kilauea volcano a divergent volcano?
No. Kilauea is associated with a hot spot.
Is kilauea volcano a hot spot?
Yes, Kilauea volcano in Hawaii is considered a hot spot volcano. This means it is formed by a mantle plume beneath the Earth's crust, creating a source of heat and molten rock that erupts to the surface.
How is Hawaii a volcano?
AnswerHawaii is a volcanic chain of islands formed over a 'hot spot' in the Earth's mantle. As the Pacific tectonic plate slowly moves over the hot spot, volcanoes rise from the seafloor, forming the islands. A new, future Hawaiian island is rising from the seafloor at this time. As the islands move away from the hot spot, the volcanoes become dormant, resulting in a chain of eroding mountains.
What is a volcano at a hot spot?
Kilauea
