Hotspots are located all over the world. Two famous ones are the Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone National Park in Montana. The Hawaiian Islands are formed when the Pacific plate moves over the hotspot. When the lava spews out from the hotspot, a volcano forms over the hotspot. When the plate shifts, the volcano is moved and becomes dormant. The hotspot then just creates a new volcano. The biggest volcano in Hawaii is Mauna Loa, and the youngest is my personal favorite, Loihi.
