Draw a colored diagram for each step of a hot spot volcano forming.

1.plume rises up through the mantle

2. melts the oceanic lithosphere above and cracks in the tectonic plate form

3. magma rises through the cracks and begins building a shield volcano

4. Eventually (a long time) the plate moves away from the hot spot and eruptions eventually stop.
