question 5 2 pts the (geologically) recent volcanic activity at yellowstone national park is related to: divergent plate boundaries hot spot volcanos plate subduction transform plate boundaries
Yellowstone's volcanic activity is due to a hot spot. Hot spots are areas where magma rises from deep within the mantle. The North American Plate moves over this stationary hot spot, causing volcanic activity. Divergent plate boundaries (plates moving apart), plate subduction (one plate going under another), and transform plate boundaries (plates sliding past each other) are not the cause of Yellowstone's recent volcanic activity.
