Why do hotspots appear to move in relation to tectonic plates?

Chemistry
2 answers:
olga_2 [115]2 years ago

Answer:

The heat that fuels the hot spot comes from very deep in the planet. This heat causes the mantle in that region to melt. The molten magma rises up and breaks through the crust to form a volcano. While the hot spot stays in one place, rooted to its deep source of heat, the tectonic plate is slowly moving above it.

Darina [25.2K]

  • The atomic radii of metals are greater than the ionic radii since metals form ions by losing electrons.
  • Calcium atom has a larger atomic radius compared to magnesium atom because it has more energy levels. Calcium atoms have four energy levels while magnesium atoms have three energy levels.
