No. It is called a volcanic island.
What type of mountain ranges form at convergent plate boundaries?
Folded and volcanic mountains
Where are some of the longest mountain ranges on Earth found?
The chain of mountains that form the mid-ocean-ridges are the longest mountain chains in the world.
Where are non volcanic mountain chains most likely to form?

What features form at a hot spot.?
They form volcanic mountains by heating magma that breaks through the crust. On the oceanic plates, these crustal hot spots can form chains of volcanic islands such as the Hawaiian Islands.
A caldera is a depression in a volcanic mountain A caldera may form when?
The mountain collapses into an emptied magma chamber
Is a volcanic arc the same thing as a volcanic mountain range?
Volcanic arcs are usually island arcs off the coast of a continent, while volcanic mountain ranges are usually inland inside a continent. But the volcanoes of a volcanic island arc do form an undersea volcanic mountain range. So to some extent the difference is mostly a matter of terminology.
