Yes they do. Hot spots form underwater too. The three types of island arcs are Pangomia, geomgloic, and istheimusguru. I hope I helped a lot.

How do igneous rocks form at hot spots?
The lava volcanoe shoots the igneous rocks out of it and then it farts hot spots
Where do shield volcanos occur?
Not at plate boundaries but instead form over hot spots.
Are hot spots stationary?
Yes; hot spots are huge columns of hot mantle material rising from a great depth. New volcanoes form and old volcanoes become extinct as plates move over the hot spots.
What processes found at hot spots will form metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks at hot spots will form mostly by contact and hydrothermal metamorphism as a result of exposure to heat from magma and interaction with hot water respectively.
Can hot-spots cause earthquakes?
movements due occur on land cause by a hot spots. a good example is kilauea in hawaii. its still rumbling because its on the hot spot. so yes, hot spots can generate an earthquake depending on the movement of the plates.

Can a hot spot form stratovolcano?
Yes. Stratovolcanoes can form over continental hot spots.
Where do shield volcanos occur?
Not at plate boundaries but instead form over hot spots.
What do hot spots form?
flood basalts and volcanoes
How do seamounts normally form?
Over hot spots.
Are shield volcanoes hot spots?
Shield volcanoes are not hot spots but they are associated with them. However, such volcanoes can also form at rift zones.
Are volcanoes formed by divergent bounderies?
Some are. Most volcanoes on land are produced by convergent boundaries while others form over hot spots.
Volcanoes that form far from plate boundaries form as the result as?
Hot spots!
Are hot spots stationary?
Yes; hot spots are huge columns of hot mantle material rising from a great depth. New volcanoes form and old volcanoes become extinct as plates move over the hot spots.
What processes found at hot spots will form metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks at hot spots will form mostly by contact and hydrothermal metamorphism as a result of exposure to heat from magma and interaction with hot water respectively.
Do hot spots form only under oceanic crust?
No, there is a hot spot underyellowstone
