How do volcanoes form there?
its a hot spot
What causes hot spot volcanoes form?
Magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust which is what causes hot spot volcanoes to form
How are hot spot volcanoes different from different volcanoes in other places?
Hot spot volcanoes such as those in Hawaii and the Yellowstone Caldera form as a result of extra hot material rising from deep within the mantle. While most volcanoes can only form near plate boundaries, hot spot volcanoes can form in the middle of a tectonic plate. Unlike at subduction zones, which are generally associated with stratovolcanoes, hot spots that form under oceanic crust typically produce shield volcanoes. Hot spots under continental crust can be more complicated and have produced every variety of volcano.

At what type of boundary do hot-spot volcanoes form at?
Hot-spot volcanoes form at intraplate boundaries, where a plume of hot magma rises from deep within the mantle, creating volcanic activity away from tectonic plate boundaries.

Do you find volcanoes at a hot spot?
Yes, it is not uncommon to find volcanoes at hot spots.
What is the place where volcanoes form in the middle of plates called?
The place where volcanoes form in the middle of plates is called a hot spot. Hot spots are areas of high volcanic activity caused by a rising plume of hot mantle material that melts through the Earth's crust, creating volcanic eruptions. An example of a hot spot is the Hawaiian Islands.
What do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?
Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
What plate interaction is a hot spot volcano?
Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with plate interactions.
Is the formation of the Hawaiian Islands is one example of volcanoes forming over a hot spot?
Yes. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by hot spot volcanoes.
