The hawaiian islands are located where the pacific plate is:
damaskus [11]
The Hawaiian Islands are formed on a region of intra plate volcanic activity on the Pacific plate. This region is known as a hot spot. Scientists are not exactly sure what causes this but they do know that a plume of magma rises through the mantle and forces it's way through the crust to form submarine volcanoes and over time volcanic islands.
The magma that rises here originates from the mantle and not crustal melt and so forms basic or basaltic lava.

Question 18 Which moon in the table of moons should be the most rocky? Which one should be the most icy?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Ganymede is the biggest and the most massive moon of the planet Jupiter. It has a metallic core. It moves in an orbital path around the planet Jupiter and orbits every 6-7 days. Half of the moon is comprised of silicate rocky materials and half of it is made up of water ice. Out of all the moons, Ganymede has the highest rock composition.

Europa is one of the moons of Jupiter. It is even smaller than the earth's natural satellite (moon). The core of this moon is made up of iron and nickel, along with some silicate materials but they are extremely in a lesser amount in comparison to the earth's core. Europa's surface is comprised of ice and water is present in a significant amount below the surface.
