THEY ARE ALL LOCATED

BETWEEN PLATE BOUNDARIES
FORMATION OF HOTSPOT
VOLCANOES
 HOTSPOTS
• There is an area of called mantle
plume
• Source of molten materials
• As the plate move, another area
will be the recipient of the molten
materials thus creating another
volcano
• The process will continue until it
created a volcanic island
 Maui
Molokai

Kilauea
(Active Volcano)

Which island is the youngest?

 Maui
Molokai
Oahu
Hawaii
Kauai

Kilauea
(Active Volcano)

Which island is the oldest?

TRUE OR FALSE
 AS ONE ISLAND VOLCANO
BECOMES EXTINCT, ANOTHER ONE
DEVELOPS OVER THE HOT SPOT
 THE FARTHER THE VOLCANO
FROM THE HOTSPOT, THE OLDER
AND LESS ACTIVE IT IS
THE NEARER THE VOLCANO TO
THE HOTSPOT, THE YOUNGER
AND MORE ACTIVE IT IS
 VOLCANOES CAN’T BE FORMED
ABOVE A HOTSPOT AT THE MIDDLE
OF THE LITHOSPHERIC PLATES
AS THE PACIFIC PLATE MOVES, DIFFERENT
PARTS OF IT WILL BE ON THE TOP OF THE
MANTLE PLUME TO RECEIVE THE MOLTEN
MATERIALS, THUS CREATING VOLCANIC
ISLANDS
