What do hot spots do?
flood basalts and volcanoes
What type of land form is formed by mantle plume hot spot?
Volcanoes (i.e. volcanic cones - like Mt. Fugi or Mt. Kilimanjaro) are landforms. Volcanoes are the product of volcanic activity and are one of a number of possible landforms that are produced as a result (e.g. caldera, flood basalts, dikes)
Evidence of former surface volcanic activity is often found in the vast accumulations of lava called what?
Evidence of former surface volcanic activity is often found in the vast accumulations of lava called lava fields or lava flows.
What is a example of volcanic activity during the Mesozoic era?
One example would be the flood basalts of the Deccan Traps of India, but there are many many more, as the Mesozoic era is a huge time period.
What is fissure mean?
a fissure eruption is magma gets erupted inside the earth
What do hot spots do?
flood basalts and volcanoes
What do hot spots form?
flood basalts and volcanoes
The Columbia plateau is an excellent example of?
flood basalts

Other than volcanoes what can hot spots form?
flood basalts

What is the most common mafic rock?
Basalt is the most common mafic rock. It is a fine-grained volcanic rock that forms from the rapid cooling of basaltic lava flows. Basalt is found in many geological settings, including oceanic crust, volcanic islands, and continental flood basalts.
What has the author Robert J Carson written?
Robert J. Carson has written: 'Flood basalts and glacier floods' -- subject(s): Guidebooks, Geology, Flood basalts 'Quaternary geology of the south-central Olympic Peninsula, Washington' -- subject(s): Geology, Geology, Stratigraphic, Stratigraphic Geology
What is fissure mean?
a fissure eruption is magma gets erupted inside the earth
How many different kinds of volcanoes are there and what are they?
There are six types: Shield, Strato. Caldera, Monogetic fields, Flood Basalts and Mid-ocean ridges.
Can repeated eruptions of relatively fluid lava from fissures eventually cause an area to be covered by flood basalts?
Yes, repeated eruptions of fluid lava from fissures can lead to the accumulation of thick layers of basaltic lava flows known as flood basalts. These eruptions commonly occur in large igneous provinces and can cover extensive areas, altering the landscape significantly.
