If the earth ceased to rotate what would be the effect on winds?
Much the same as today - the global winds rise at the Equator and flow to the Poles, where they chill and flow north again.So in your non-spinning Earth, they would flow from the stationary hot spot, to the new cold spot on the opposite side of the earth, from where they would descend (due to gravity) and flow towards the hot spot again.[Gravity would be in effect, for soon a mountain of ice would rise at the new cold spot.]

What role do volcanoes play in the formation of the galapagos islands?
The volcanic set up of the Islands can be explained by looking at the theories of Plate Tectonics and the Hot Spot. The platform where the Galapagos Islands started their volcanic growth lies right on top of the Nazca Plate. In Galapagos, the Islands to the East are older than those to the West, this implies that the Galapagos Hot Spot is right under the western Islands of Isabela and Fernandina.
What are the coordinates for the galapagos islands?
‎The coordinates for the Galapagos Islands is 0° 46' 38.1324'' S 91° 8' 33.2808'' W
What are the coordinates of the Hawaii hot spot?
There are not exact coordinates as the hot spot covers a large area. However, it appears to be centered under the eastern part of the Big Island, so a decent approximation would be 19.3° N 155.3° W
Are the Galapagos islands formed by volcanoes?
Yes - this volcanism is related to the presence of an underlying mantle plume that has created a hot spot in the crust.
