Q: A chain of what structures form as an oceanic plate moves over a hotspot?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

A chain of volcanoes form as an oceanic plate moves over a hotspot. This is how it happens. A volcano forms over the hotspot. Since the plate is moving, the volcano moves off of the hotspot. When the hotspot erupts again, a new volcano forms over it. This volcano is next to the first. Over time, there is a line of volcanoes. The youngest is directly above the hotspot. The oldest is the farthest away ( Figure below ).

 Choices:

- ridges

- earthquakes

A:
volcanoes
