- The oldest islands are farthest from the plume

- The seamount continues to grow until it rises above the water and becomes an island.

Yellowstone Is Still An Active Volcano. Yellowstone National Park in western Wyoming is an active volcano and the world’s largest concentration of thermal features. The Yellowstone volcano’s caldera is outlined in red.

As the Pacific Pate moves, the islands formed by the hot spot are carried with it and away from the magma plume.

Where Are Hot Spots of Volcanoes Found on Earth?

Where a hotspot is located along the ridge, such as in Iceland, volcanoes grow high enough to create islands. Eruptions are found at divergent plate boundaries as continents break apart such as the East African Rift between the African and Arabian plates.

A hot spot volcano forms over a rising column of magma called a mantle plume. the origin of mantle plumes is still uncertain, but evidence shows they probably rise up from the boundary between Earth's mantle and core.

Magma, which is less dense than the surrounding rock, rises to the seafloor and forms a seamount.

Kilauea is still active because there is a hot spot filled with magma under Hawaii and it is located just under Kilauea right now. Since the Pacific Ocean floor is moving only 3 and 1/2 inches per year westwards, Kilauea will be active for a long time on a human scale.

As a tectonic plate passes over a mantle plume, a volcano forms above the plume. The tectonic plate continues to move, and a chain of volcanoes forms.

Not all volcanoes form at plate boundaries.  Some called hot spot volcanoes pop up in the middle of a tectonic plate.

A hotspot is a large plume of hot mantle material rising from deep within the Earth.
