No. Hot spots and subduction zones are two separate geogolgic settings in which volcanoes can form. Some hot spots may develop as a result of activity in a subduction zone, and continue activity after subduction has ended or move away.

Most volcanoes occur were?
Where the plate of the earth collide and pull apart. (If you don't know what I mean by plates of the earth Wikipedia plate tectonics) The only other places volcanoes occur is above hot spots (hot spots are also explained on the plate tectonics Wikipedia page)
What forms over hot spots?
volcanoes
What do hot spots do?
flood basalts and volcanoes
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.
Identify three tectonic settings where volcanoes commonly occur?
hot spots, divergent plate boundaries, and convergent plate boundaries.
Volcanoes most often occur at plate boundaries and?
At interpolate hot spots
Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle 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.

Do you find volcanoes at a hot spot?
Yes, it is not uncommon to find volcanoes at hot spots.
Are tectonic plates boundaries the only locations where volcanoes form?
No. About 10% of volcanoes on Earth form at hot spots away from late boundaries. Additionally, the planets Venus and Mars and Jupiter's moon Io have volcanoes but do not appear to have tectonic plates.
