Hotspots
Note: The hotspot video referenced at the beginning of this section is no longer available using the link in the lab. You may skip this link, read the background information for the section, and answer questions 29-33, as the content in the video is not needed to complete this part of the lab.
29. Using the ruler tool, what is the distance in miles from Kilauea to the center of Kauai?
A. ~ 235 miles
B. ~ 325 miles
C. ~ 525 miles
D. ~ 352 miles
30. Using the information above, calculate the average rate of speed (in inches per year, or in/yr) of the plate since the creation of Kauai? (Remember: convert miles to inches. 63,360 inches = 1 mile).
A. 235 miles*63360 inches/mile / 5,100,000 years = 2.92 inches/year
B. 352 miles*63360 inches/mile / 5,100,000 years = 4.37 inches/year
C. 525 miles*63360 inches/mile / 5,100,000 years = 6.52 inches/year
D. 325 miles*63360 inches/mile / 5,100,000 years = 4.04 inches/year
31. Using the ruler tool, what is the distance in miles from Kilauea to the center of Maui?
A. ~90 miles
B. ~110 miles
C. ~140 miles
D. ~170 miles
32. Using the information above, calculate the average rate of speed (in inches per year, or in/yr) of the plate since the creation of Maui? (Remember: convert miles to inches).
A. 90 miles*63360 inches/mile / 1,300,000 years = 4.39 inches/year
B. 170 miles*63360 inches/mile / 1,300,000 years = 8.29 inches/year
C. 140 miles*63360 inches/mile / 1,300,000years = 6.82 inches/year
D. 110 miles*63360 inches/mile / 1,300,000 years = 5.36 inches/year
33. Do hotspots occur only in the ocean? Explain why or why not. Hint: See sections 10.11 and 10.12 in the course text for additional information about hotspots that is relevant to this question.
A. Yes, because they form only under oceanic crust
B. Yes, because there is no evidence of them under continental crust
C. No, because, there is evidence of them under continental crust (e.g. Yellowstone)
D. No, because the Andes Mountains in South America are a good example of a hotspot
