← GeographyWhich geological phenomenon increases due to hotspot movement?
A)Linear volcanic island chains formation✓
B)Intraplate orogeny event frequency
C)Rift valley system sedimentation rates
D)Frequency of mid-ocean ridge subduction
💡 Explanation
Linear volcanic island chains form due to the mantle plume remaining stationary while the tectonic plate moves via plate tectonics causing sequential volcanic activity, therefore, creating a series of islands, rather than one random volcanic peak elsewhere.
