Hotspot Volcano Locations at Nate Anderson blog

Hotspot Volcano Locations. As the plate moves, the hot spot remains stationary and islands form and slowly drift away from the hot spot allowing more volcanoes and islands to be formed. Volcanic hot spots are plumes of molten rock which rise from the mantle and cause the crust to melt, creating magma resulting in volcanic activity. Instead it occurs at abnormally hot. This map shows the hotspots listed in an influential 2003 paper by vincent courtillot and colleagues, which ranked them according to a set of five widely accepted criteria. Volcanoes can also form over hotspots hotspot a hotspot occurs when there is intense heat in the mantle which rises towards the crust. While a plume that feeds hot spot volcanoes remains stationary relative to the mantle, the plate above it usually moves. Hot spot volcanism is unique because it does not occur at the boundaries of earth’s tectonic plates, where all other volcanism occurs. The result is that a chain of progressively older volcanoes. The map below shows the location of volcanic hot spots. The three sizes of symbols show whether the hotspots had high, medium or low scores against those criteria.
