Hot spot

The video explains how rocks melt to form magma, which rises and causes volcanic activity on Earth's surface. It discusses how hotspots remain stationary while tectonic plates move, creating trails of volcanoes. The Hawaiian Islands are an example of land formed over a hotspot.

What happens to volcanic activity when tectonic plates move over a hotspot?

What causes magma to rise in columns?

Explain how hotspots contribute to the formation of volcanoes.

What is the relationship between tectonic plates and hotspots?

Describe the formation of the Hawaiian Islands.
