VOLCANOES AT HOTSPOTS TECTONIC HAZARDS
2
IN THIS LESSON YOU WILL DISCOVER : (I) The reason why some volcanoes do not occur on plate boundaries. (II) What happens to volcanoes located over a hotspot as they are carried away by the tectonic plate. 2
3
3 Study the distribution of volcanoes shown on Figure 2. Where is Kilauea located? Kilauea is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean far from plate boundaries.

A FEW KEY WORDS TO HELP YOU Solid part of the mantle Semi-molten part of the mantle (magma) Motion=movement Intrusion: Magma slowly pushes up from deep within the earth into any cracks or spaces it can find. An extinct volcano is not expected to erupt again. Stationary: which doesn’t move. VIDEO Mantle Plume: A column of hot rock rising inside the mantle
