Question

1 multiple choice 1 point
which of the following is a result of a hot spot?
the hawaiian islands
the appalachian mountains
the aleutian islands

Explanation:

Hot spots are stationary mantle plumes that melt the overlying tectonic plate. As the plate moves, successive volcanic islands form. The Hawaiian Islands formed this way, while the other options are from tectonic plate collisions (Appalachians, Rockies) or subduction zones (Aleutian Islands).

Answer:

The Hawaiian Islands
