Hot spot volcanoes such as those in Hawaii and the Yellowstone Caldera form as a result of extra hot material rising from deep within the mantle. While most volcanoes can only form near plate boundaries, hot spot volcanoes can form in the middle of a tectonic plate. Unlike at subduction zones, which are generally associated with stratovolcanoes, hot spots that form under oceanic crust typically produce shield volcanoes. Hot spots under continental crust can be more complicated and have produced every variety of volcano.

Do volcanoes erupt for the same reasons?

Yes, all volcanoes erupt because the magma underneath or in the volcano is under pressure, which forces the magma to the surface, where there is less pressure. However, volcanoes form in different places.


What makes volcanoes different from other mountains?

Volcanoes will periodically spew out hot gas, ash, or molten rock.


What are the volcanoes of Hawaii and other places far from tectonic plate boundaries known as?

The volcanoes in Hawaii and other places far from tectonic plate boundaries are known as hot spot volcanoes. These volcanoes are formed by magma upwelling from deep within the Earth's mantle, creating volcanic islands or features such as seamounts. An example of a hot spot volcano is the Hawaiian Islands.


Where does volcanoes form?

Well, volcanoes form in many places. but the main place where volcanoes form is along the border of plates. this happens when one plate goes under the other and starts forming into a volcano.
