the hawaiian islands are located where the pacific plate is UNANSWERABLE what is hawaii hotspot? A volcanic hotspot located near the namesake Hawaiian Islands what is the temperature in this region? UNANSWERABLE what does the hotspot theory of wilson state? Wilson proposed that mantle convection produces small, hot buoyant upwellings under the Earth's surface; these thermally active mantle plumes supply magma which in turn sustains long-lasting volcanic activity.

Hawaii hotspot [SEP] Landslides
The Hawaiian islands are carpeted by a large number of landslides sourced from volcanic collapse. Bathymetric mapping has revealed at least 70 large landslides on the island flanks over in length, and the longest are long and over in volume. These debris flows can be sorted into two broad categories: slumps, mass movement over slopes which slowly flatten their originators, and more catastrophic debris avalanches, which fragment volcanic slopes and scatter volcanic debris past their slopes. These slides have caused massive tsunamis and earthquakes, fractured volcanic massifs, and scattered debris hundreds of miles away from their source. Slumps tend to be deeply rooted in their originators, moving rock up to deep inside the volcano.
