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

Chemistry

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.

A sample of argon initially has a volume of 5.0 L and the pressure is 2 atm. If the final temperature is 30° C, the final volume
lbvjy [14]
We have that every gas satisfies the fundamental gas equation, PV=nRT where P is the Pressure, V is the volume of the gas, n are the moles of the gas, R is a universal constant and T is the Temperature in Kelvin. We have that PV/T=nR and during our process, the moles of the gas do not change (no argon enters or escapes our sample). See attached.
