Explain how volcanoes that are located at hot spots form?
Volcanoes located at hot spots form by lying directly above columns of hot rock that rise through Earth's mantle. As a tectonic plate moves over a mantle plume, rising magma causes a chain of volcanic islands to form.
How are land forms form?
landforms are formed by volcanoes?
How does plateau form?
a plateau probably formed when the surrounding land was eroded
How are high islands formed?
Volcanic islands form when volcanic activity initiates on the sea floor. Over many years the rock formed by successive eruptions builds up, eventually breaching the surface to form islands. This can occur in two geologic settings: hot spots and oceanic subduction zones. With a hot spot, extra hot mantle material wells up in a plume originating near Earth's core. Some of this melts beneath the crust and the resulting magma rises up through the crust, erupting to form volcanoes. This is how the Hawaiian Islands formed. In an oceanic subduction zone, two plates consisting of oceanic crust collide. One plate slides under the other an into the mantle. Seawater trapped in the rock and sediment seeps into the hot mantle rock, altering the chemistry and allowing it to melt into magma. This then rises through the crust to form volcanoes. Many of the Aleutian Islands formed by this proceeds. A similar process can occur with an oceanic plate subducting under a continental plate, forming volcanoes along continental margins.
How are up walked mountains formed?
Up walked mountains are formed when pressure is built up and pressure is pushed down. This causes the land to become uneven and form a mountain.

How was Honolulu formed?
The Hawaiian islands are the result of a hot spot beneath the Pacific Plate. Hot material rises from deep within the mantle and collects beneath the lithosphere. Some of it rises through the crust and erupts at the surface, forming volcanoes. Those volcanoes gradually build up into islands. As the plate moves over the hot spot the old volcanoes go extinct and new ones form.
What land form is not formed by the water cycle?
valleys
How are land forms form?
landforms are formed by volcanoes?
How were land bridges form?
They were already formed but the were covered with water.

How is a lake form?
A lake is formed when there is water in the middle of land. a lake is formed when..GYOA (Get You Own Answers!!)
What landform are formed by the crashing of tow land masses?
Two land masses crunching together will form mountains E.g. Himalayas
Did volcanos form England?
Jessie they formed all of land over water we see today.
How do layers in sedimentry rocks form?
The land where the rock was formed was underwater when the rock was formed. Over the years layers of Sediment sank to the bottom. Pressure formed the sediments into rock.
How can land be formed by waves?
Usually waves erode land. Waves may form land if they push material from another location into a particular area. For example, the natural sea wall on Mt. Desert Island in Maine, was formed by such a process.
