Intraplate volcanism may be associated with what formation?
Intraplate volcanism may be associated with hotspots. These are areas where magma rises from deep within the mantle to the surface of the Earth, independent of tectonic plate boundaries. The Hawaiian Islands are a famous example of intraplate volcanism caused by a hotspot.
What is the igneous activity in Yellowstone National Park is associated with what tectonic setting?
intraplate setting
How does a volcano occur in the middle of a continental or oceanic plate?
Intraplate volcanism.
What kind of geologic features are associated with intraplate volcanism?
figure it out urself
Which volcano is an example of intraplate volcanism?
Kilauea in Hawaii, which formed over a hot spot
Are the Deccan Plateau Hot Spots and Hawaii Hot Spots examples of intraplate volcanism?
Yes, both the Deccan Plateau Hot Spot in India and the Hawaii Hot Spot in the Pacific are examples of intraplate volcanism. Intraplate volcanism occurs within the interior of tectonic plates, away from plate boundaries, and is often associated with hot spots that generate mantle plumes leading to volcanic activity.
The hawaiian isand and Yellowstone national park are associted with which of the three zones of volcanism?
hot spot volcanism
What has the author Neil M Ribe written?
Neil M. Ribe has written: 'Towards a dynamic model of intraplate volcanism'
What is the source of magma for intraplate volcanism?
Rift zone
The Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone are associated with which of the three zones of volcanism?
The type of zone of volcanism that the Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone National Park are associated with is called a Hot Spot. Volcanic places that are formed by mantle plumes are called Hot Spots.
What causes intraplate volcanism?
Most of Earth's earthquakes (especially the larger ones) are concentrated along the Earth's tectonic plate boundaries, particularly the destructive ones. However some earthquakes (and even some large ones) do happen away from these areas in the centre of the tectonic plates and these are called 'intra plate' earthquakes - where 'intra' means 'interior'.
