The tectonic plate continues to move, and a chain of volcanoes forms. ]]> 2022-04-28 13:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162598741 What Hot Spots Are Still Active? reginaromo1 https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162607878 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.]]> 2022-04-28 13:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162607878 Where Are Hot Spots of Volcanoes Found on Earth? reginaromo1 https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162616698 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.]]> 2022-04-28 13:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162616698 Random Fact reginaromo1 https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162620303 Magma, which is less dense than the surrounding rock, rises to the seafloor and forms a seamount. ]]> 2022-04-28 13:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162620303 Random Fact reginaromo1 https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162630152 As the Pacific Pate moves, the islands formed by the hot spot are carried with it and away from the magma plume. ]]> 2022-04-28 13:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162630152 Is Yellowstone Still an Active Volcano? reginaromo1 https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162633905 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.]]> 2022-04-28 13:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162633905 Random Facts reginaromo1 https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162638235 - The oldest islands are farthest from the plume

- The seamount continues to grow until it rises above the water and becomes an island.]]> 2022-04-28 13:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaromo1/sgdmrgrx5w9d1fjr/wish/2162638235
