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.
