Question

Which geologic action may produce a chain of volcanic islands?

a hot spot
a transform boundary
converging plates
a diverging plate boundary

Answer 1

A hot spot

Step-by-step explanation:

A hot spot is an area in the Earth's mantle where a column of hot molten material, called a mantle plume, rises towards the surface. As the tectonic plates move over the stationary hot spot, volcanic activity occurs. The hot spot creates a series of volcanic eruptions, which form a chain of volcanic islands.
