  9. Geohazards Which geohazards are related to plate boundaries ?

  10. Relate Geohazard to Plate Tectonics On your table, write in pencil which plate boundary(s) the hazard is triggered by Landslide Earthquake Tsunami Explosive Volcanism Effusive Volcanism Which geohazards are related to plate boundaries ?

  11. ‘Hot Spots Volcanics’ Throughout Geological Time

  12. Hot Spots Not Associated With Plate Tectonics Hot spots and mantle plumes: • Caused by rising plumes of deep mantle material • Volcanoes can form over them (Hawaiian Island chain) • Mantle plumes • Long-lived structures • Some originate at great depth, perhaps at the mantle-core boundary

  13. The Hawaiian Islands http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/investigations/es0810/es0810page03.cfm http://www.edumedia-sciences.com/en/a99-hot-spot-volcanism
