A hot spot will often generate volcanoes. Many hot spots show a chain of extinct volcanoes in one direction, indicating that the plate moved over the stationary hot spot.

At what type of boundary do hot-spot volcanoes form at?
Tectonic plate boundary
Whear a volcano is most likely to form?
Close to a tectonic plate subduction zone, a tectonic spreading zone or a localised 'hot spot'.
How do write a sentence hot spot?
A volcanically active area of earth's surface, commonly far from a tectonic plate boundary is called a hot spot.
Is Yellowstone located at a divergent plate boundary?
Yellowstone is situated within a tectonic plate, not at a plate boundary! Volcanic activity is thought to be as a result of a mantle plume, much like the volcanism that created the Hawaiian Island chain.
What is a mid-plate volcano?
A mid-plate volcano, also known as a hot-spot, is an eruption of lava that is NOT on a plate boundary. It occurs right in the middle of a tectonic plate instead of on the boundary of one of them. An example of one is in Hawaii.
What are the Hawaii lslands made of?
A fixed "hot spot" (magma/hot lava) accumulated under the tectonic plate in that area. Imagine a volcano under the sea floor there. The "volcano" would erupt and create an island. Over time, the tectonic plate would move but the "volcano" would not. The hot spot (volcano) would erupt again but on a different part of the tectonic plate.
Is a hot spot a tectonic plate boundary?
it is a hot spot for the boundary because it represents the volcanic eruption
How is the hawaiian chain forming?
It is forming from a hot spot underneath the tectonic plate.
At what type of boundary do hot-spot volcanoes form at?
Tectonic plate boundary
What type of plate tectonic is eyjafjallajokull volcano located on?
a divergent boundry hot spot the north part of the atlantic plate and between the eurasian plate
Whear a volcano is most likely to form?
Close to a tectonic plate subduction zone, a tectonic spreading zone or a localised 'hot spot'.
What tectonic plates does the eyjafjallajokull sit on?
Eyjafjallajökull is near the boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate and is also on a hot spot.

What surface feature would you expect to form if both a hot spot and a tectonic plate are stationary?
A large volcano over the hot spot (ex Olympus Mons on mars)
How is a volcano different from a hot spot volcano?
Fault lines are simply where cracks appear in the earth's crust from the movement of the plates.
