Answer to Question 1

Answer: Students will need to measure the distance from one island's volcanic center to the next, in kilometers, and use the dates for the lava flows in conjunction with the distance to calculate a rate. The plate must be moving toward the southeast over time, dragging the older islands off in that direction. The rate of motion is about 50 km/million years (or 5 cm/year). For instructors' reference, island 2 is 90 km from island 1 atop the hot spot (where the lava is erupting today), and islands 3 and 4 are 170 km and 220 km from island 1, respectively.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
