∙ 9y agoThe source of magma for intraplate volcanism is a hot spot and is believed to be related to the rising of a deep mantle plume. The plume is caused by a very slow convection and produces volcanoes away from any plate boundaries.

Intraplate volcanism may be associated with what formation?
Hot Spots
Which volcano is an example of intraplate volcanism?
Kilauea in Hawaii, which formed over a hot spot
Are the Deccan Plateau Hot Spots and Hawaii Hot Spots examples of intraplate volcanism?
They are, yes.
What causes volcanism?
Volcanism is the build up of magma onto the surface of the earth or a solid-surface. The eruption is caused by pyroclastics and volcanic gases breaking through the surface called a vent.
What causes intraplate volcanism?
Most of Earth's earthquakes (especially the larger ones) are concentrated along the Earth's tectonic plate boundaries, particularly the destructive ones. However some earthquakes (and even some large ones) do happen away from these areas in the centre of the tectonic plates and these are called 'intra plate' earthquakes - where 'intra' means 'interior'.
Intraplate volcanism may be associated with what formation?

Is Yellowstone a intraplate volcanism?
Yes, because it is not a plate boundary...and Wikipedia said it is. Jim
Are the Deccan Plateau Hot Spots and Hawaii Hot Spots examples of intraplate volcanism?
They are, yes.
What has the author Neil M Ribe written?
Neil M. Ribe has written: 'Towards a dynamic model of intraplate volcanism'
Does the mantle contain volcanism?
No. Volcanism occurs at the surface on the crust. However, the magma that drives volcanism ultimately comes from the mantle.
What type of volcanoes formed the Hawaiian islands?
The Hawiian islands are formed by shield volcanoes.
Volcanism that allows magma to seep into the crustal layers and harden?
internal
What is the meaning of bulkanismo?
Bulkanismo is the Filipino word for volcanism. Volcanism is a phenomenon that involves the eruption of molten rock, or magma, onto the surface of the planet.
Name the process that includes the movement of magma onto earth's surface?
Extrusive Volcanism
