Volcanoes located at hot spots form by lying directly above columns of hot rock that
rise through Earth's mantle. As a tectonic plate moves over a mantle plume, rising
magma causes a chain of volcanic islands to form.

How do you briefly explain how volcanoes that are located in hot spots formed?
As tectonic plate moves over a mantle plume, rising magma causes a chain of volcanic islands to form.
Are volcanoes located in the center plates?
Not usually. Most volcanoes are located near plate boundaries, but some volcanoes at hot spots do form in the middle of plates. A few include the volcanoes of Hawaii, the volcano at Yellowstone, and the Volcanoes of the Canary Islands.
Do shield volcanoes form at hot spots?
Yes I am pretty sure.
Are volcanoes and earthquakes located in the middle of continents?
volcanoes form in many places like Hawaii and some in Asia but they are everywhere mostly in the middle there ane NO volcanoes in U.S. excluding Hawaii
Did plate tectonics on Mars form the volcanoes on Mars?
No. Mars does not have plate tectonics. The volcanoes on Mars are the result of 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.
What do hot spots form?
flood basalts and volcanoes
Where do shield volcanoes form?
at hot spots(a place where volcanoes are very active)
Volcanoes that form far from plate boundaries form as the result as?
Hot spots!
Why do they have volcanoes?
Volcanoes form from either techtonic plates crashing together or from hot spots under the earth
Other than volcanoes what can hot spots form?
flood basalts
Do shield volcanoes form at hot spots?
Yes I am pretty sure.

Do solitary volcanoes form as a result of hot spots?
the hotspots of volcanoes are when they are near tectonic plates when diverting or coliding
What kind of boundary do Shield volcanoes form?
hot spots and convergent boundaries
