Active/Dormant Volcanoes

Hot Spots

Question #1 Pressure Non-explosive (shield or cinder-cones) (Magma comes from the upper mantle, which has a low to medium viscosity and low to medium gas.)
6
Question #2 Temperature Non-explosive (shield or cinder-cone) (Magma comes from deeper in the mantle and tends to have low viscosity.)
7
Question #3 Water Melting point (Subducting crust is oceanic, and so the rock is well hydrated with water, which is released as vapor during subduction.)
8
Question #4 Explosive (composite or cinder-cone) 80%
9
Question #5 Pacific Ring of Fire (Most coastlines along the Pacific are within subduction zones except for California.)

Question #6 15 % (most located in Iceland and Eastern Africa). 5 % (most form islands such as Hawaii, Easter isles, Galapogos, Canary, Tahiti, etc.) –Note: a single hot spot can form multiple islands as the plate moves over it. –Bill Nye volcano (3:28)Bill Nye volcano (3:28)
