Hotspot Plate Boundary at Albert Allen blog

Hotspot Plate Boundary. 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. Hot spot volcanoes occur far from plate boundaries. Some volcanoes pop up in random places, often far from the edge of a tectonic plate. They seem totally disconnected from any plate tectonics processes,. Hotspots are the only types of volcanism not associated with subduction or rifting zones at plate boundaries; Of approximately 125 hot spots thought to have been. The latter form over subduction zones, at converging plate boundaries. Hotspot volcanoes are considered to have a fundamentally different origin from island arc volcanoes. These volcanoes are found over hot spots. a hot spot is an intensely hot area in the mantle below. 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. Because the hot spot is caused by mantle plumes that exist below the tectonic plates, as the plates move, the hot spot does.
