Question

A. How does a hot-spot supervolcano (such as Yellowstone) form? (5 points)

Answer 1

A. Basically a hotspot forms above a mantle plume. A mantle plume is like a bit of magma from the earths mantle, but it’s like not near tectonic plate boundary things. (Sorry if that doesn’t make sense lol if you’re still confused I’d just look up a diagram of a hotspot)

B. A stratovolcano, those are just volcanos that are built with a bunch of lava and ash

C. Mt. Helens is formed on a subduction plate boundary, while a hotspot is formed because of mantle plumes, which are usually not on a plate boundary.

Hope this helps lol
