Which statements are accurate about earthquakes that occur during the formation of the chain of islands and sea mount by hotspots select the correct three answers
1. Hotspot activity can cause earthquakes during the formation of a chain of islands and seamounts.
2. These earthquakes are generally less intense than those that occur along tectonic plate boundaries.
3. The earthquakes are mainly caused by the movement of magma beneath the Earth's crust.
4. The frequency and intensity of earthquakes decrease as the chain of islands and seamounts continue to form over time.
5. The earthquakes related to hotspot activity can trigger tsunamis in some cases.
