Do volcanoes occur at hot spots?
No. Hot spots and subduction zones are two separate geogolgic settings in which volcanoes can form. Some hot spots may develop as a result of activity in a subduction zone, and continue activity after subduction has ended or move away.
Is Shield volcanoes found along subduction zones?
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
Is cinder-cone volcano an active volcano?
Cinder cone volcanoes have formed in all of the major land-based settings for volcanoes: subduction zones, hot spots, and rifts.
Identify three tectonic settings where volcanoes commonly occur?
hot spots, divergent plate boundaries, and convergent plate boundaries.
Are hot spots located over rising calderas?
No. Hot spots are located under many, but not most volcanoes. Many calderas are associated with subduction zones. When the ground in a caldera rises it is called a resurgent dome, not a hot spot.

Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.
How is a hot spot similar from a subduction zone?
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.
What are the tourists spots in region 9?
Mount Apo
Where are the dangerous spots in Wales?
The top of Mount Snowdon.
What is the area that creates volcanic mountains?
There are two areas where volcanic mountains often form. They are subduction zones and hot spots.

Why do you get tiny white spots on your face?
It's the natural result of a facial. Are they calcium spots?
