Can hot-spots cause earthquakes?
movements due occur on land cause by a hot spots. a good example is kilauea in hawaii. its still rumbling because its on the hot spot. so yes, hot spots can generate an earthquake depending on the movement of the plates.
Are hot springs and hot spots the same?
no but yes hot means hot but springs and spots are differ so the answer is no!
Why hot spots located at the tropical regions?
They aren't necessarily. Several well-known hot spots are in tropical areas, but a number are not. We have the Hawaiian and Galapagos hot spots, but we also have hot spots under Yellowstone, Iceland, and Antarctica.
What is the cause of the volcanoes in Hawaii?
The volcanoes in both Yellowstone and Hawaii are associated with hot spots. These are areas of especially hot mantle where some melting occurs. In Hawaii the hot spot melts oceanic crust, creating basaltic magma that most erupts effusively. In Yellowstone the hot spot melts continental crust, creating viscous rhyolitic magma that erupts explosively.
Where do hot spots originate?
Hot spots begin at where 2 plates move apart

Are geological hot spots collisional?
No. Hot spots are not associated with plate boundaries.

hot spots begin at the boundary between the mantle and the outercore.

What causes a tap from the brakes when applying?
Most common cause is imperfection in rotor or rotor's. Rust or hot spots.
Why Florida is not part of a volcano belt?
Florida is not near any plate boundaries or hot spots.
Are the Deccan Plateau Hot Spots and Hawaii Hot Spots examples of intraplate volcanism?
They are, yes.
What causes hot spots on earth?
The flow of molten magma is what causes varying hot spots on Earth. Hot spots are also known to heat water beneath the ground.
