Volcanic Hotspots and Seafloor Spreading The figure below is a map of the volcanic islands and seamounts (submerged volcanoes) that form the Hawaiian Islands and the Hawaiian-Emperor Chain. These were formed by a "hot spot" - a relatively stationary hot plume that rises through the earth's mantle and melts part of the overriding plate. Table 1 shows a selection of some of these volcanoes with regard to their age and distance from the active hot spot location. The change in...

volcano islands that form over mantle plumes, such as the Hawaiian chain , are home to some of Earth's largest volcanoes . However , several volcanoes on Mars are gigantic compared to any on Earth. what does this difference tell us about the role of plate motion in shaping the Martian surface?

Consider the age of the various
Hawaiian Islands given below in millions of years. Remember, the
formation of the Hawaiian Islands reflects: 1) the movement of the
Pacific plate, and 2) stationary volcanic hotspot activity over
time. Which direction is the Pacific plate currently moving? Maps
are plan or bird's eye views of the earth's surface. Here, the top
of the figure is north, and the bottom of the figure is south. The
