Hot Plate Earth Science. These volcanoes are found over hot spots. a hot spot is an intensely hot area in the mantle below. Tuzo wilson in 1963, a hotspot is an area in the lithospheric plate where molten magma breaks through and creates a volcanic center, islands in the ocean and mountains on land [ 82 ]. Subducting slabs have also been named as. The tectonic plates connect the parts of earth’s lithosphere, much like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Like an eggshell, plates are relatively thin — on average only about 80. These tectonic plates rest upon the convecting mantle, which causes them to move. The earth’s crust is broken up into a series of massive sections called plates. In all, a dozen major plates cover earth’s surface. Some volcanoes pop up in random places, often far from the edge of a tectonic plate. Unlike puzzle pieces, tectonic plates do not rest on a stable surface. Scientists have identified a number of current and past hotspots believed to have begun this way. Tectonic plates are huge moving slabs that together make up earth’s outer layer. To analyze plate movement more precisely, scientists study hotspots. Some span thousands of kilometers (miles) on a side.
