There are more than just five hot spots throughout the whole Earth. There is the Tasman hot spot, the Hawaii hot spot, the Galapagos hot spot, the Yellowstone hot spot, Easter Island hot spot, Bouvet hot spot, St. Helena hot spot, the Canary Islands hot spot, and then Iceland hot spot.
Hot spots originate in the mantle, well below the Earth's surface.
Via convection currents and hot spots in the mantle.
No. Hot spots are not associated with plate boundaries.
Hot spots are at fixed locations in the Earth's mantle where heat from the Earth's interior rises to the surface and produces volcanism. The Earth's plates, which are slowly but constantly moving, are pierced by the uprising magma. As they move away from the hotspot, the volcanoes become dormant and are replaced by new volcanoes. The direction of the line formed from previous volcanoes indicates the direction of the plate movement.
Humans have never drilled past the crust into the mantle. We have, however, seen the mantle through "hot spots" like volcanoes where the mantle is closer to the surface.
The flow of molten magma is what causes varying hot spots on Earth. Hot spots are also known to heat water beneath the ground.

Earth has hot spots. Earth is the only known planet which has active tectonics, which is required to produce a hot spot. See related link for more information.
islands such as hawii
Yes.... Areas of pockets of magmatic accumulation.
what are the spots on earth main or do the earth have spots what are the spots on earth main or do the earth have spots
offcourse not who on earth would think that your such a fat donkey
They are examples of the flow of heat from the interior of the Earth to the surface through a fixed spot in the mantle which melts through the moving crust. Better known as a 'hot spot'.

Volcanic eruptions are common in some of the Earth's volcanic hot-spots.
i think so .we r learning idk dude
Volcanoes form from either techtonic plates crashing together or from hot spots under the earth
