| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust above it | 20 sets | |
| 2 | an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust above it. | 10 sets | |
| 3 | unusually hot region of the mantle which causes rock to melt, rise, and form a volcano | 9 sets | |
| 4 | a volcanically active area of earth's surface far from a tectonic plate boundary | 5 sets | |
| 5 | 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 | 4 sets | |
| 6 | a region where hot rock extends from deep within the mantle to the surface | 3 sets | |
| 7 | a stationary area of volcanic activity | 3 sets | |
| 8 | a constant stream of magma, one of which formed hawaii | 3 sets | |
| 9 | an area where molten rock rises to earth's surface | 3 sets | |
| 10 | an unusually hot region of the mantle which causes rock to melt, rise, and form a volcano | 2 sets | |
| 11 | 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 | |
| 12 | what is the cause of the volcanoes on hawaii? | 2 sets | |
| 13 | a volcanically active area of earth's surface, commonly far from a tectonic plate boundary | 2 sets | |
| 14 | most basaltic volcanoes are located on a _______ | 2 sets | |
| 15 | an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust above it. (p. 219) | 2 sets | |
| 16 | an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts right through the crust above it | 2 sets | |
| 17 | region where hot rock extends from deep within the mantle to the surface | 2 sets | |
| 18 | an area where material from deep within the mantle rises and then melts, forming magma | 2 sets | |
| 19 | computing an area on the screen that can be clicked on to start an operation such as loading a file | 2 sets | |
| 20 | area of volcanism within a lithospheric plate | 2 sets | |
| 21 | 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 | |
| 22 | area where material from deep within the mantle rises then melts | 2 sets | |
| 23 | area where magma melts through the crust in the middle of a plate | 1 set | |
| 24 | areas of volcanic activity near the center of lithospheric plates | 1 set | |
| 25 | an area where magma deep within the mantle melts through the crust above | 1 set | |
| 26 | where magma continually pushes through the crust | 1 set | |
| 27 | an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts trough the crust above it | 1 set | |
| 28 | area where magma from deep within the mantle melts though the crust above it during an earthquake | 1 set | |
| 29 | a volcanically active area of earth's surface, commonly for from a tectonic plate boundary | 1 set | |
| 30 | an area where material from deep within the mantle rises and melts forming magma | 1 set | |
| 31 | a weak place in the earths asthenosphere where magma rises, melts the crust, and reaches the earth's surface. | 1 set | |
| 32 | an area where a column of hot material rises from deep within a planets mantle and heats the lithospere above it | 1 set | |
| 33 | 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 | 1 set | |
| 34 | "a place on earth's surface that is directly above a column of rising magma called a mantle plume" | 1 set | |
| 35 | area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust | 1 set | |
| 36 | is an area of persistent volcanic activity. | 1 set | |
| 37 | 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 | |
| 38 | a plume or point of heat from deep inside the earth that are believed to be stationary. | 1 set | |
| 39 | a plume/point of heat that comes from deep inside the earth; assumed to be fixed. (don't move) | 1 set | |
| 40 | a volcano that occurs where a pool of intensely hot magma rises toward the surface, melting rock until it breaks through the crust | 1 set | |
