What are hotspots?
Hotspots are portions of the Earth's surface that experience significant volcanism thought to be due to mantle plumes. They are normally located at a distance from plate boundaries where the majority of volcanism occurs.An example of a hotspot would be that underlying Hawaii and is responsible for the volcanism there and the creation of the Hawaiian island chain.
Near what geologic structures are most of Earth's explosive volcanoes located?
Most explosive volcanism is located at oceanic to continental subduction zones.
Why are most volcanoes located on the edges on continents?
Most volcanoes are located on the edges of continents because that is where tectonic plates meet. At these plate boundaries, one plate is often forced beneath another in a process called subduction, which can lead to the melting of rock and the formation of magma that eventually erupts as a volcano. This is known as subduction zone volcanism.
Why is the ring of fire located where it is?
The Ring of Fire is located in the Pacific Ocean basin where several tectonic plate boundaries meet. This area is prone to frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity because of the movement of these plates. The Ring of Fire has approximately 75% of the world's active volcanoes and is known for its seismic activity.
Where is the Historical Experiences Inc in Mankato Minnesota located?
The address of the Historical Experiences Inc is: 20180 589Th Ave, Mankato, MN 56001
Which state experiences the highest temperature in India?
Rajasthan experiences the highest temperature in india,becase the Great Indian Thar Desert is located in Rajasthan.
Does the island of Hawaii experience volcanism because it is located above the mid pacific ridge?
No. The Island of Hawaii is located above a Hot Spot on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. That is a place where a plume of lava breaks through the floor of the Pacific ocean and pushes up mountains. The Pacific Ocean has other such Hot Spots. None are a big as that underneath the big island of Hawaii.
Is Mauna Loa on transform boundary?
No, Mauna Loa is not located on a transform boundary. It is a shield volcano located on the Big Island of Hawaii and is primarily formed by hotspot volcanism, where magma rises from deep within the Earth's mantle.
Which is the coldest place Haiti or Siberia?
Haiti is located in the tropics, while Siberia is in the mid to high latitudes and inland. Siberia experiences extreme cold during the winter as a result of lack of sunlight, high pressure, and snow cover. Haiti experiences warm weather all year because the sun is always high.
Does the Netherlands have volcanoes?
No, Suriname has no volcanoes. The Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Project lists over 200 volcanoes in South America. All of them are on the west coast.For more information on volcanoes, please visit the link to the Global Volcanism Project website provided below.
What active volcanoes in the world are a direct result of hot spot volcanism?
Some examples of active volcanoes in the world that are a result of hot spot volcanism include Kilauea in Hawaii, Piton de la Fournaise in Reunion Island, and Mount Erebus in Antarctica. These volcanoes are not located near tectonic plate boundaries but instead are formed by magma rising from a fixed hot spot in the Earth's mantle.
How cold is it at the North Pole?
The North Pole is located at the top of the Earth. The North Pole experiences seasons like the rest of the Earth. When the North Pole experiences the cold season, it is about - 34 degrees. When the North Pole experiences the warmer season, the temperature is around 0 degrees.
