I recently talked about hot spots in class and using them to track plate velocity and it occurred to me that a simple extension to magnetic stripes would also demonstrate how a plate moves over a hot spot. Perhaps have students mark a hot spot on the underlying layer in the model and then every so often draw a volcano on the trace from the ridge.
