What else can I help you with?
A hot spot creates volcanoes in an?
Yes. It sure does :l
Why do some Hawaiian islands have active volcanoes and some don't?
All of the Hawaiian islands are volcanic in origin. The volcanoes are fed by a hot spot, where extra hot material wells up in the mantle, generating magma. This hot spot generally stays in one place while the Pacific Plate above it moves. As this happens, older volcanoes are carried away from the hot spot and lose their source of magma.
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.
In plate tectonic theory what does a hot spot create?
A hot spot is an area of volcanic activity that occurs independently of tectonic plate boundaries. As a tectonic plate moves over a hot spot, a linear chain of volcanoes forms on the plate surface. The most well-known example of this is the Hawaiian Islands.
How are hot spot 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.
Where are hot spot volcanoes located in relation on Earths plates?
In the center/middle of the plate.
How do volcanoes form there?
its a hot spot
Do you find volcanoes at a hot spot?
Yes, it is not uncommon to find volcanoes at hot spots.
What do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?
Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
What plate interaction is a hot spot volcano?
Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with plate interactions.
Is the formation of the Hawaiian Islands is one example of volcanoes forming over a hot spot?
Yes. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by hot spot volcanoes.
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
What boundary is a hot spot volcano?
Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with plate boundaries except where the hot spot is coincidentally near one.
How do how spot volcanoes?
A hot spot develops above the plume. Magma generated by the hot spot rises through the rigid plates of the lithosphere and produces active volcanoes at the Earth's surface. As oceanic volcanoes move away from the hot spot, they cool and subside, producing older islands, atolls, and seamounts.
Why is Hawaii made of volcanoes?
Because it is located on a hot spot!
The Hawaiian volcanoes formed as a result of which of the following?
Hot spot ^_^
What types of volcanoes are not the result of tectonic activity?
hot spot
