Volcanic Hotspots Exist Underneath These Locations; Including Flagstaff

Mantle hotspots often cause volcanoes to erupt and general volcanism far away from major tectonic plate boundaries. For example, a volcanic mantle hotspot exists underneath a section of the Hawaiian Island chain, northeast of Flagstaff in Arizona, in a section of American Samoa, and even in Germany. While some of these hotspots are less certain than others (as for example the existence of the Iceland hotspot is well known but the Eifel hotspot in Germany is still debated and the Flagstaff hotspot in Arizona might not exist, also being still debated), this video will discuss the 48 active mantle hotspots around the planet which have produced some form of a volcanic eruption in the last 1 million years.
