Answer: (C) A hot spot

Explanation:

 A hot spot is created in the volcanic peaks and it is basically developed over the plume. The mantle plumes are the areas of the up-welling and the hot mantle areas. Magma created by the problem area ascends through the unbending plates in the lithosphere layer.

It produces the dynamic volcano at the surface of the earth. In the mantle area, the hot spot are generated in which the rocks are get melted for generating the magma. The hot spot generated the heat are basically comes from the middle of the earth.

It would be a hot spot
To put it simply, a hot spot is an area on a tectonic plate, where the magma is able to flow through easily, and it’s in the middle of the plate. As the plate moves, this magma coming from the middle of the plate ejects magma, which hardens to form volcanic islands

Marine magnetic anomalies result from seafloor spreading in conjunction with
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

D. magnetic polarity reversals

Explanation:

The marine magnetic anomalies are the result of two things; the seafloor spreading at the mid-ocean ridges and the magnetic polarity reversals.

The mid-ocean ridges are the places where the new crust forms. This places also have big influence on the magnetic anomalies, with the reason being that the magnetism has higher influence in this parts.

Also, the magnetic polarity reversals play a big role. The Earth has not always had the same magnetic polarity, and multiple times throughout its past the North and South Poles have been switching places when it comes to the magnetism.

The igneous rocks on the ocean floor have proof in them about this, as the metallic components are reacting to the magnetism and face toward the stronger magnetic field.
