The Locations of Selected Hotspots map from the Reference Tables for Earth and Space Sciences (ESSRT) shows where prominent volcanic hotspots are located around the world. It primarily supports HS-ESS1-5.
What the hotspots map shows
The world map marks prominent hotspots with dots, including Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland, the Galapagos, Easter Island, the Azores, the Canary Islands, Afar and Reunion Island, and draws the approximate plate boundaries as lines. Some hotspots, such as Iceland and the Azores, lie on a plate boundary, while others, such as Hawaii and Yellowstone, lie in the interior of a plate. The map is meant to be used together with the Global Tectonic Activity of the Last One Million Years map.
