What is the difference of earth volcanoes to other planets volcanoes?

Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with boundaries of tectonic plates while those that we have seen on other planets are probably from hot spots. Earth's volcanoes also seem more prone to explosive eruptions, primarily due to the abundance of water on Earth.


Why are the Hawaiian volcanoes different from those in the Ring of Fire?

The Hawaiian volcanoes come from a hot spot whereas the ring of fire volcanoes are from subduction zones. A hot spot is an area that was thought to be a relatively stationary plume of hot rock coming up from deep in the Earth's mantle. As the Earth's crust passes over the hot spot, the plume burns through it, creating volcanoes. Recent research shows that rather than being relatively stationary, these hot spots actually do move. How they move is a subject of current research. Subduction zone volcanoes come from the melting of the down-going plate.
