Where do shield volcanos occur?
Not at plate boundaries but instead form over hot spots.
Which continent has the most hotspots?
Hot spots can and do occur on continents.
Do volcanoes occur at hot spots?
No. Hot spots and subduction zones are two separate geogolgic settings in which volcanoes can form. Some hot spots may develop as a result of activity in a subduction zone, and continue activity after subduction has ended or move away.
Where do most volcanos occur on earth surface?
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).
Can hot-spots cause earthquakes?
movements due occur on land cause by a hot spots. a good example is kilauea in hawaii. its still rumbling because its on the hot spot. so yes, hot spots can generate an earthquake depending on the movement of the plates.

Do hot spots only form in oceanic crust?
no they also occur up your mom
At what four plate boundary types does metamorphism occur?
transform, divergent, convergent, and hot spots
Identify three tectonic settings where volcanoes commonly occur?
hot spots, divergent plate boundaries, and convergent plate boundaries.
Where do volcanos occur on Earths surface?
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).
Most volcanoes occur were?
Where the plate of the earth collide and pull apart. (If you don't know what I mean by plates of the earth Wikipedia plate tectonics) The only other places volcanoes occur is above hot spots (hot spots are also explained on the plate tectonics Wikipedia page)
