ES + 6. Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Mountain Ranges

Question 1

How are hotspot volcanoes formed?

Answer 1

So in summary, the very hot, rising mantle plume from a deep hot spot melts through the crust to erupt and build volcanoes, which then move away as the plate shifts, allowing new volcanoes to form over the stationary hot spot. This creates a chain of volcanoes over geological time.

A rising mantle plume melts through the curst and builds volcanoes, overtime the plates move and form a series of islands

Question 2

Fold Mountains

Answer 2

forces of compression crumple forming mountain ranges

Question 3

Erosion formed mountain ranges

Answer 3

Weathering, appalcian

Question 4

Dome mountains

Answer 4

In this mountain formation, the
molten rocks or magma try to
make its way to the surface but
can not form a volcano

Question 5

Fault Block mountains

Answer 5

In this mountain formation, the crust swells and experiences stress and tension, the stress is released causing a graben to slide down.
