Hotspots are volcanoes that form...

• at convergent plate boundaries.

• at divergent plate boundaries.

• at transform plate boundaries.

• in the middle of a tectonic plate.

This image shows the hawaiian island change. Hawaii is currently the tallest island and is still an active volcano. Based on the map chose the answer that best explains the age of the islands.

• The further the islands are from Hawaii the younger the island is.

• Hawaii is the youngest island because it is currently on top of the hotspot.

• Hawaii is the oldest island because it is closest to the hotspot.

• Ohau is younger than the big island because it is further from the hot spot.
