Mantle plumes - areas of unusually hot rock that can punch through the Earth's crust to create volcanoes like the Hawaiian island. Not only do they form land, which humans can live on, they create hazards like volcanoes (Hawaii itself is a volcano) and even super volcanoes such as Yellowstone, which allegedly has the potential to wipe out large areas of life on the globe. The affects of hotspots are all of those associated with volcanic activity without the fault-line processes linked with tsunamis and earthquakes.
