Plumes of magma rise up through the lithosphere over the hot spot. Drag the slider bar or use the step buttons to examine the labels. When the plate moves, recently formed volcanic islands are carried off the hot spot and new portion of the lithosphere is positioned over it.

Plumes of magma rise up through the lithosphere over the hot spot. Lithosphere of the Pacific plate is moving to the northwest over hot spot deep within Earths mantle. Jennifer Loomis, TERC ES0904 Observe an animation of volcanic islands forming over hot spot. This animation simulates the formation of the islands of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean. Drag the slider bar or use the step buttons to examine the labels.

Lithosphere of the Pacific plate is moving to the northwest over hot spot deep within Earths mantle. The magma erupts onto the seafloor and accumulates to form volcanic islands. This animation simulates the formation of the islands of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean.
