Hot Spot Movement Of Tectonic Plates at Ellie Ridley blog

Hot Spot Movement Of Tectonic Plates. As the plate moves over this “hot spot”, the upwelling lava creates a steady succession of new volcanoes that migrate along with the plate. They seem totally disconnected from any plate tectonics processes, such as. This simple schematic diagram shows the movement of the tectonic plate (light brown) over a mantle plume, or hot spot, to produce a chain of volcanic islands. A chain of volcanoes (hotspot track) forms as a tectonic plate moves over a plume of hot mantle material (hotspot) rising from deep within the earth. In geology, the places known as hotspots or hot spots are volcanic regions thought to be fed by underlying mantle that is anomalously hot compared with the surrounding mantle. The landscapes of national park. The plume also eats into or melts the plate above, so that. As the plate moves, so does the volcano, and another one forms in its place. Hotspots are the only types of volcanism not associated with subduction or rifting zones at plate boundaries; Most volcanic eruptions occur near the boundaries of tectonic plates, but there are some exceptions. In the interior of some tectonic plates, magma has been erupting from a relatively fixed spot below the. While the hot spot stays in one place, rooted to its deep source of heat, the tectonic plate is slowly moving above it.
