Hot spots have generated all types of volcanoes but are most often. If you mean to ask about specific volcanoes, there are too many to count, so a few groups and notable volcanoes will be listed:
The volcanoes of Hawaii
The volcanoes of the Canary Islands
The Yellowstone supervolcano
The San Francisco volcanic complex (including Sunset Crater and the San Francisco Peaks)
The volcanoes of Iceland (associated with both a hot spot and a divergent plate boundary).

Explain how volcanoes that are located at hot spots form?
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.
Are hot spots located over rising calderas?
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.
Are volcanoes located in the center plates?
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.
What forms over hot spots?
volcanoes
What do hot spots do?
flood basalts and volcanoes
What volcanoes are located along divergent boundaries?
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
What volcanoes are located are located along plate boundaries?
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
What is an area such as that where the stray volcanoes are located called?
Areas where stray volcanoes are located are called 'Hot Spots' such as the volcanoes located on the Hawaian islands
Where are volcanoes that always have nonexplosive eruptions located?
They are located at divergent boundaries and hot spots.
Are shield volcanoes hot spots?
Shield volcanoes are not hot spots but they are associated with them. However, such volcanoes can also form at rift zones.
Can volcanoes appear anywhere on earth?
Not just anywhere. Most volcanoes are located at plate boundaries. The rest are located at locations called hot spots.
Do you find volcanoes at a hot spot?
Yes, it is not uncommon to find volcanoes at hot spots.
