Question

(DONE) please check it over for me, it is on labeling.

If you can, thanks for the help.

The diagram below is a simplified representation of a hot spot.
Oldest
Youngest
Lithasphere
Asthenosphere
Draw arrows on the plate to indicate the direction of movement.
Label which island is the oldest and which is the youngest.
What information do hotspots like this give us about past plate movements?
Hot spot generally stays in one place while the tectonic plate above it keeps moving. So we can measure
the past values.
