Hot Spots Move With Continental Plates at Lara Lauren blog

Hot Spots Move With Continental Plates. As the plate moves, so does the volcano, and another one forms in its place. Hot spots can occur under both continental and oceanic crust, and they provide evidence that the earth’s tectonic plates move. While the hot spot stays in one place, rooted to its deep source of heat, the tectonic plate is slowly moving above it. These rhyolites can form violent eruptions. To analyze plate movement more precisely, scientists study. Two prominent hotspot tracks appear on a map of the 50 united states, one involving a plate with thin oceanic crust (hawaii), and one with thicker continental crust. Because the hot spot is caused by mantle plumes that exist below the tectonic plates , as the plates move, the hot spot does. Where hotspots occur in continental regions, basaltic magma rises through the continental crust, which melts to form rhyolites. Hot spot volcanoes occur far from plate boundaries. The wilson cycle provides a broad overview of the tectonic plate movement. Since a hot spot is nearly stationary in the mantle,. The pacific northwest of the united states has a variety of active tectonic settings, including.

These rhyolites can form violent eruptions. The wilson cycle provides a broad overview of the tectonic plate movement.
