Question

  1. how does the yellowstone hot spot show that hot spots can also occur beneath continents? give one example of evidence that yellowstone is still active.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To show hot spots can be under continents, Yellowstone (on North American continent) has volcanic features. Evidence of activity: geysers (like Old Faithful) erupt due to hot - spot - driven magma heating water, or ongoing seismic activity, or the existence of a large caldera formed by past eruptions with potential for future activity.

Answer:

Hot spots under continents: Yellowstone (on North America’s continent) has volcanic/hot - spot - related features (e.g., magma - driven geothermal activity). Evidence of activity: Old Faithful geyser erupts (due to hot - spot - heated water), or ongoing seismicity, or the large caldera with potential for future eruptions.
