They can occur anywhere. For example the Hawaiian islands are caused by a hot spot thought to be created by a mantle plume and they are a very large distance away from any plate boundary.
However some geophysicists also believe that Iceland sits atop a hotspot that is also caused by a mantle plume that coincidentally coincides with a tectonic plate boundary (the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge).
What else can I help you with?
Are hot spots near plate boundaries?
No, Hot Spots can be in the center of plates. An example of a Hot Spot is the Hawaiian Islands.
What plate boundaries or hot spots is the cause of Mt Vesuvius?
suck it nerds
Volcanoes that form far from plate boundaries form as the result as?
Hot spots!
Volcanoes most often occur at plate boundaries and?
At interpolate hot spots
What causes different kinds of volcanic mountains?
it can be caused by many things, such as hot spots, convergent plate boundaries, and divergent plate boundaries
What is a fault of a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What plate boundaries do hot spots from?
Hot spots are not directly associated with plate boundaries. Hot spots are areas of intense volcanic activity that are thought to be caused by mantle plumes rising from deep within the Earth's mantle, creating a hotspot of magma beneath the Earth's crust. These hotspots can occur in the middle of a tectonic plate and are responsible for creating volcanic island chains, such as the Hawaiian Islands.
What type of fault is a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What volcanoes are located are located along plate boundaries?
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
Are geological hot spots collisional?
Geological hot spots are not typically collisional. Hot spots are areas where magma rises from deep within the Earth's mantle to the surface, creating volcanic activity. Collisional plate boundaries, on the other hand, occur when tectonic plates converge and collide, leading to mountain formation and earthquakes.
Is a hot spot found at converging oceanic plates?
Hot spots are usually found away from plate boundaries.
Where do most volcanos occur on earth surface?
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).
