-
A.
Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain
The Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain is a long, age-progressive line of volcanic islands and underwater mountains in the Pacific Ocean that records the movement of the Pacific Plate over a stationary mantle hotspot.
-
B.
Ascension hotspot
The Ascension hotspot is a volcanic mantle plume beneath the South Atlantic Ocean that has generated the volcanic activity forming Ascension Island and nearby seafloor features.
-
C.
Hawaiian hotspot
The Hawaiian hotspot is a long-lived volcanic plume in the Earth's mantle that has created the Hawaiian Island chain and associated seamounts as the Pacific Plate moves over it.
-
D.
Samoan Islands volcanic chain
The Samoan Islands volcanic chain is a series of volcanic islands and seamounts in the South Pacific Ocean formed by hotspot-related volcanic activity along the Pacific Plate.
-
E.
Lord Howe Seamount Chain
The Lord Howe Seamount Chain is a series of submarine volcanic mountains in the Tasman Sea, forming part of an ancient hotspot track associated with the Lord Howe Rise off eastern Australia.
- F. None of above. chosen
