Could someone help me with a few Geography questions?
The Hawaiian Islands are examples of islands that formed over a hotspot. Based on this information, which of the following processes formed the Hawaiian Islands? Melted rock called magma rose through holes in Earth's crust and gradually solidified as it cooled. Tectonic movement forced certain segments of Earth's crust downward and other segments upward in jagged chunks. One tectonic plate moved beneath another plate at a subduction zone, causing the rock to melt and rise above Earth's surface. (MY CHOICE.) Segments of Earth's crust bent and doubled over, and moving wind and water gradually shaped the rock into gently sloping domes.
I answered some of them, could you guys check them for me? Like the one above? Thanks!
An explorer discovers an island dominated by a geologic structure with gently sloping sides that formed over a hotspot? Which of the following has the explorer most likely discovered? A fault-block mountain A folded mountain A shield volcano A volcanic arc
The first one is actually A. Melted rock called magma rose through holes in Earth's crust and gradually solidified as it cooled.
The second one is a shield volcano.
