Complete question: The interactions at the edges of plates are very important. Which is NOT an interaction that is commonly observed all along the length of one of the edges where two plates meet?

A) Hot spot.

B) Push-together obduction.

C) Push-together subduction.

D) Pull-apart.

E) Slide past.

Answer: (A) Hot spot.

Explanation: Hotspots is referred to as volcanic regions that is elicited by the underneath mantle that is singly experiencing hotness compared with the surrounding mantle.

However, hotspots can presumably produce a chain of volcanoes, and this is possible because of the independent nature of hotspots position over tectonic plate boundaries on the Earth's surface.

The hot spot escape through a plate from underneath, in few regions. Important example of hotspots around the world include Iceland, Hawaii and Yellowstone hotspots.

The Question is incomplete; the options are as follows:

A) Hot spot. is Correct

B) Push-together obduction.

C) Push-together subduction.

D) Pull-apart.

E) Slide past.

Explanation:

A hot spot is a region on Earth above a mantle plume or even a region beneath the Earth's rocky outermost layer, named the crust, in which magma is cooler than the underlying magma.

A hot spot punches through a surface from underneath, in some small area. All of the others occur along the lengthy corners of the plates.
