Kilauea, above, is one of five volcanoes on the Big Island of Hawaii. They get their fuel because the island sits over a hot spo

t. Hot spots occurs at abnormally hot centers known as mantle plumes. Scientific models depict these plumes of molten rock almost like a lava lamp, with a rising bulbous head fed by a long, narrow tail that originates in the mantle. This type of volcanism, hot spot volcanism, is unique. Why?
Because the resulting volcanoes always produce islands.
B) Because it occurs where two tectonic plates converge and this is usually the site of mountain-building.
C) Because it does not occur at the boundaries of Earth’s tectonic plates, where all other volcanism occurs.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Coquina is usually defined as a sedimentary limestone rock that is found to be present in the freshwater zones and in the coastal areas. This rock is made up of broken shells that are smaller in size. The rocks can be easily broken down by the constant flowing of sea waves.  

This rock is commonly formed in the same way as the other sedimentary rocks, i.e. it is formed by the deposition of sediments carrying these organic remains and eventually undergoes the process of compaction and lithification on the seafloor.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
