Pacific plate continues to move?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As the Pacific Plate continues to move west-northwest, the Island of Hawaii will be carried beyond the hotspot by plate motion, setting the stage for the formation of a new volcanic island in its place. In fact, this process may be under way.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-happens-to-the-volcanic-islands-that-are-no-longer-over-the-hot-spot\"><\/span>What happens to the volcanic islands that are no longer over the hot spot?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A volcano above a hot spot does not erupt forever. Attached to the tectonic plate below, the volcano moves and is eventually cut off from the hot spot. Without any source of heat, the volcano becomes extinct and cools. This cooling causes the rock of the volcano and the tectonic plate to become more dense.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-do-you-think-will-happen-if-tectonic-plates-are-not-moving\"><\/span>What do you think will happen if tectonic plates are not moving?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If all plate motion stopped, Earth would be a very different place. The agent responsible for most mountains as well as volcanoes is plate tectonics, so much of the activity that pushes up new mountain ranges and creates new land from volcanic explosions would be no more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-the-hawaiian-island-emperor-seamount-chain-indicate-about-past-movement-of-the-pacific-plate\"><\/span>What does the Hawaiian Island Emperor seamount chain indicate about past movement of the Pacific plate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The volcanoes in the Hawaiian Island-Emperor Seamount chain get progressively older as one heads northwestward from Hawaii. These age relationships suggest that the Pacific Plate has been steadily moving northwestward, while the underlying mantle plume has remained relatively stationary.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-happens-to-the-age-of-the-hawaiian-islands-moving-away-from-the-hot-spot\"><\/span>What happens to the age of the Hawaiian Islands moving away from the hot spot?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>the ages of the volcanic rocks comprising of each island or seamount progressively increases with distance from the active volcanism on the Big Island.
