Most volcanoes that cannot be ascribed either to a subduction zone or to a seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges are attributed to hot spots.

Is the cinnamon butte a hot spot or a subduction zone?

The Cinnamon Butte is a volcanic feature located in the Cascade Range of Oregon, and it is associated with a hot spot. This region is characterized by volcanic activity resulting from the upwelling of molten rock from deep within the Earth, rather than from tectonic plate interactions typical of subduction zones. Thus, Cinnamon Butte is primarily linked to a hot spot rather than a subduction zone.
