What type of volcano is formed at a weak spot in the middle of a plate?

Shield volcanoes are often formed over hotspots that are independent of plate boundaries... thus, at a weak spot that could be in the middle of a plate.

What type of plate boundary created Kilauea volcano?
It is not on a plate boundary but in the middle of a plate. Kilauea has formed over a hot spot.
What is a hot spot volcano?
A volcano formed by a rising plume of magma that is not located at a plate boundary.
Is the komagatake volcano a result of a hot spot or subduction?
ls it formed due to a hot spot or a plate boundary Komagatake
What is a mid-plate volcano?
A mid-plate volcano, also known as a hot-spot, is an eruption of lava that is NOT on a plate boundary. It occurs right in the middle of a tectonic plate instead of on the boundary of one of them. An example of one is in Hawaii.
Is kilauea volcano a hot spot?
No. It is a volcano. It was formed by a hot spot.
What type of plate boundary of kilauea volcano?
It is not on a plate boundary but in the middle of a plate. Kilauea has formed over a hot spot.

What are Yellowstone volcano's?
The Yellowstone volcano is well withing the boundaries of the North American plate. It formed over a hot spot rather than a plate boundary.

The Hawaiian Islands are formed by these ocean structures?
sea mountsThe Hawaiian islands were formed by volcanoes. Volcanoes have two methods of formation, convergence of tectonic plates at the edges of the plates, and hot spots under the middle of plates. The Hawaiian islands and others in that area were formed when magma from the mantle rose to Earth's surface through a certain spot in the middle of the plate (i.e., the Pacific Plate for the Hawaiian Islands). This hot spot is situated beneath the center of the plate, and the volcano above moves with the plate as it moves, but the hot spot stays in place. This causes the original volcano to become extinct when its move cuts it off from its magma source and an island is born. A new volcano will then form above the hot spot again. This process repeats as the plate moves and a string of volcanoes (and eventually, islands) will dot the surface of the plate as the movement continues away from the hot spot.

No. It is a volcano. It was formed by a hot spot.
Which countries prone to volcanoes?
Volcanos are mainly foun on the plate boundies. So thererfore many volcanos are on the coastlines. A volcano is formed when there is a hot spot at the middle of a plate so therforethe hot molten magma gets forced and creates bolders and rocks to make a volcano. Hawaii has a massive volcano. Hope this helps you ^_^
What plate does Hawaii sit on?
Actually, the Hawaiian Islands were not formed by plates colliding together. They are in fact in the middle of the Pacific plate. They were formed by a hot spot. A hot spot is a spot in the inside of a plate and magma rises up to the surface and becomes a volcano. The reason why there are multiple islands is because the Pacific Plate is moving. Once an island moves completely away from the hot spot it becomes an extinct volcano.
What type of plate boundary is involved in volcano kilauea?
None. Kilauea and all the Hawaiian volcanoes were created by a hot spot rather than a plate boundary.
What plate interaction is a hot spot volcano?
Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with plate interactions.
