No, Hot Spots can be in the center of plates. An example of a Hot Spot is the Hawaiian Islands.

What plate boundaries do hot spots from?

Hot spots are not directly associated with plate boundaries. Hot spots are areas of intense volcanic activity that are thought to be caused by mantle plumes rising from deep within the Earth's mantle, creating a hotspot of magma beneath the Earth's crust. These hotspots can occur in the middle of a tectonic plate and are responsible for creating volcanic island chains, such as the Hawaiian Islands.

Are geological hot spots collisional?

Geological hot spots are not typically collisional. Hot spots are areas where magma rises from deep within the Earth's mantle to the surface, creating volcanic activity. Collisional plate boundaries, on the other hand, occur when tectonic plates converge and collide, leading to mountain formation and earthquakes.
