Do Hot Spots Move With Continental Plates at Harrison Trethowan blog

Do Hot Spots Move With Continental Plates. While the hot spot stays in one place, rooted to its deep source of heat, the tectonic plate is slowly moving above it. Hot spot volcanoes are less common in continental plates because the crust of continental plates is thicker and less dense. As the plate moves, so does the volcano, and another one forms in its place. The classic definition of hotspots states they do not move, although recent evidence suggests that there may be exceptions. Most hotspot volcanoes are basaltic (e.g., hawaii, tahiti). As a result, they are less explosive than subduction zone volcanoes, in which water is trapped under the overriding plate.
