Hot Spots For Tectonic Plates at Layla Swallow blog

Hot Spots For Tectonic Plates. A hot spot can be described as “a small area of the earth’s crust where an unusually high heat flow is associated with volcanic activity. The minority of specialists seeks to explain hotspots in terms of what i might call advanced plate tectonics: Hot spot volcanoes occur far from plate boundaries. Of approximately 125 hot spots thought to have been. Hotspots are the only types of volcanism not associated with subduction or rifting zones at plate boundaries; 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 5 percent of known world volcanoes not closely related to such plate margins (see plate tectonics) are regarded as hotspot volcanoes. Because the hot spot is caused by mantle plumes that exist below the tectonic plates, as the plates move, the hot spot does. They seem totally disconnected from any plate tectonics processes,.
