| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust above it | 30 sets | |
| 2 | an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust above it. | 14 sets | |
| 3 | unusually hot region of the mantle which causes rock to melt, rise, and form a volcano | 9 sets | |
| 4 | a concentration of heat in the mantle capable of producing magma, which rises to earth's surface; the pacific plate moves over a hot spot, producing the hawaiian islands | 5 sets | |
| 5 | a volcanically active area of earth's surface far from a tectonic plate boundary | 5 sets | |
| 6 | a region where a rising column of magma extends from beneath the lithosphere to reach earth's surface | 3 sets | |
| 7 | an area where molten rock rises to earth's surface | 3 sets | |
| 8 | a constant stream of magma, one of which formed hawaii | 3 sets | |
| 9 | a region where hot rock extends from deep within the mantle to the surface | 3 sets | |
| 10 | a stationary area of volcanic activity | 3 sets | |
| 11 | where magma continually pushes through the crust | 2 sets | |
| 12 | an area where a column of hot material rises from deep within a planet's mantle and heats the lithosphere above it, often causing volcanic activity at the surface | 2 sets | |
| 13 | place where magma wells up to the surface from earth's mantle | 2 sets | |
| 14 | place where magma reaches the surface within a crustal plate | 2 sets | |
| 15 | area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust above it | 2 sets | |
| 16 | a volcanically active area of earth's surface, commonly far from a tectonic plate boundary | 2 sets | |
| 17 | a volcanic center found at the beginning of progressively older aseismic ridges or within a continent far from a plate boundary. hypothesized to be the surface expression of a mantle plume. | 2 sets | |
| 18 | an unusually hot region of the mantle which causes rock to melt, rise, and form a volcano | 2 sets | |
| 19 | an area where material from deep within the mantle rises and then melts, forming magma | 2 sets | |
| 20 | what is the cause of the volcanoes on hawaii? | 2 sets | |
| 21 | a point of intense heat or radiation | 2 sets | |
| 22 | an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust above it. (p. 219) | 2 sets | |
| 23 | area where material from deep within the mantle rises then melts | 2 sets | |
| 24 | an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust like a blow torch | 2 sets | |
| 25 | region where hot rock extends from deep within the mantle to the surface | 2 sets | |
| 26 | area of volcanism within a lithospheric plate | 2 sets | |
| 27 | most basaltic volcanoes are located on a _______ | 2 sets | |
| 28 | computing an area on the screen that can be clicked on to start an operation such as loading a file | 2 sets | |
| 29 | an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts right through the crust above it | 2 sets | |
| 30 | places where a pool of intensely hot magma rises toward the surface | 1 set | |
| 31 | volcano plume stays, the plates move | 1 set | |
| 32 | not along a plate boundary, hawaii | 1 set | |
| 33 | "a place on earth's surface that is directly above a column of rising magma called a mantle plume" | 1 set | |
| 34 | area on an image map that links to a web page | 1 set | |
| 35 | a location at the base of the lithosphere, at the top of a mantle plume, where temperatures can cause melting | 1 set | |
| 36 | a plume or point of heat from deep inside the earth; assumed to be fixed | 1 set | |
| 37 | an area on the stage that's brighter than others | 1 set | |
| 38 | area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust | 1 set | |
| 39 | is an area of persistent volcanic activity. | 1 set | |
| 40 | a plume or point of heat that comes from deep within the earth-dont ever move ex (hawaii "islands" etc get older as move away from hot spot and start to sink as go further away-and the volcanoes go extinct) | 1 set | |
