INTRODUCTION To better understand hot spots, you will use information about the

formation and age of the Emperor-Hawaiian chain of islands to determine the rate of

Plate

movement of the Paciﬁc Plate. Makeup-explain answers own words, do graph and show math

Tectonics

Materials Map of the Hawaiian Islands. Table of age and distance from hot spot. Ruler, science textbook

Pre-graph thinking Based on your textbook, pg. 323, class notes, and knowledge from class videos, explain

how the line of Hawaiian islands formed, both above and below sea-level:

Explain how this formation is different from a volcanic island arc, p. 321:

Think about “rise / run” from math

class...

On a distance / time graph, what feature of the line shows the rate (in

this case of island chain growth?)______________Notice that this graph is “run / rise”, so think about how this will

affect how you read the graph.
