Well...
Volcano hotspots are mostly on the boarders of tectonic plates.
A huge volcano hotspot is the pacific ring of fire.... which is in the Pacific Ocean where major tectonic plates meet. If you want to see some maps of where the pacific ring of fire is, just go to Google images and search for the pacific ring of fire.
Hot spot volcanoes are found to have formed in the middle of Earth's plates. They originate deep in the mantle and rise as hot mantle plumes.
where earth has it's weak spots and where earth's plates have collided so it's easy for molten rock to form a volcanoe.
Volcanoes can be found at hot spots, but most volcanoes are not. The majority of volcanoes on Earth are near plate boundaries.
Most volcanoes are near plate boundaries, either at a divergent boundary or on the overriding plate at a subduction zone.
No. Hot spots are located under many, but not most volcanoes. Many calderas are associated with subduction zones. When the ground in a caldera rises it is called a resurgent dome, not a hot spot.
Volcanoes located at hot spots form by lying directly above columns of hot rock that rise through Earth's mantle. As a tectonic plate moves over a mantle plume, rising magma causes a chain of volcanic islands to form.
Not usually. Most volcanoes are located near plate boundaries, but some volcanoes at hot spots do form in the middle of plates. A few include the volcanoes of Hawaii, the volcano at Yellowstone, and the Volcanoes of the Canary Islands.

Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
Areas where stray volcanoes are located are called 'Hot Spots' such as the volcanoes located on the Hawaian islands
They are located at divergent boundaries and hot spots.
Shield volcanoes are not hot spots but they are associated with them. However, such volcanoes can also form at rift zones.
Not just anywhere. Most volcanoes are located at plate boundaries. The rest are located at locations called hot spots.
Yes, it is not uncommon to find volcanoes at hot spots.
