Using the map provided (and the rough approximate scale bar), calculate a plate velocity for the North American Plate, moving over the Yellowstone Hot Spot. How does the boiling temperature of water change with pressure? In other words, does high pressure result in a higher or lower boiling point?Watch the video titled “Magmatic Activity”At the end of this video, hit pause, and notice that Yellowstone Hot spot eruptions go back to about 16 million years ago. The off-set is a result of what kind of fault? Choose one of the following.thrust fault (subduction zone)transform faultrotational faultnormal faultWatch the video on how a geyser works.

Pick one of the above, AND EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.In a black smoker environment, where does the water come from that we see flowing out of the "chimney" structure- Is the water coming from the surrounding seawater, or is the water coming up from earth's mantle?
