What is 1
a Hotspot?
 Hotspot
a concentrated source of high heat energy, causing
rocks to melt and magma to form. A volcano is
formed when magma rises through the crust. The
volcano gets transported away from the hotspot and
becomes inactive as the plate moves.
 02
How are hotspot volcanoes different from the
typical volcanoes that are found along plate
boundaries?
 The difference
Hotspots are not formed in plate boundaries but
they occur in abnormally hot centers called mantle
plumes. A volcano where a hotspot is located, the
volcano moves but the hotspot does not move
wherein the hotspot can form new volcanoes. The
furthest away volcano from the hotspot is the oldest
volcano.
 03
How was Hawaii
formed?
 How it was formed
Hawaii was formed by a hotspot or a mantle
plume. When it reaches the base of the
lithosphere, the rock partially melts, sending
intrusions of magma upwards into the plate.
Some of the magma erupts forming a
volcano or a volcanic island.
 04
Which of the features, at the surface of the
crust, will be the oldest and the youngest? The
most active and the least active? Label these
on your paper and explain why.
 The first that were formed are the oldests
and the newer are the youngests. The
oldest is the furthest from the hotspot
while the youngest is above it. Once the
volcano moves away from the hotspot, it
automatically becomes inactive or extinct.
The oldests are the least active; and the
youngest, the volcano that is above the
hotspot, the Kilauea Volcano is the most
active.
