There seems to be more than one Arthur's Seats: one in Scotland and another in Australia. They were formed by a process known as volcanic intrusion.

What is the difference between the volcanic activity that occurs at a hot spot and the volcanic activity at a subduction boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?

The hot spot volcanic activity is not dependent on the subduction and melting of oceanic crust. The hot spot simply appears to be a non-moving place in the Earth's mantle where heat rises from the interior.


When there is a restriction in a line or part what will commonly appear downstream of that spot?

If you are talking ac, then a spot of frost.If you are talking ac, then a spot of frost.


Where does subdution occur?

Subduction (I believe that's what you meant) occurs at CONVERGENT boundaries, where two plates collide and the less dense one remains and the denser one sinks. An example of subduction is two oceanic plates colliding. Oceanic plates contain mainly basalt, which is dense. The oceanic plate closer to a heat source (hot spot, volcano) would remain in place while the denser plate sinks (cold water is denser than hot water so it sinks) below the other. When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, the oceanic plate sinks because granite (what continental plates are composed of mainly) is less dense than basalt, therefore the oceanic plate would sink. However, when two continental plates collide, because both plates are made of granite and are not very dense, they push and shape the land into mountains.

Is Kilauea the result of subduction or a hot spot?

Kilauea is a result of a hot spot, not subduction. It is located on the Big Island of Hawaii, which sits over a volcanic hot spot in the Earth's mantle. This hot spot produces magma that rises to the surface, causing the formation of volcanoes like Kilauea. In contrast, subduction involves one tectonic plate sliding beneath another, leading to different volcanic activity.

Was Mount Vesuvius formed by a hot spot or subduction?

Mount Vesuvius was formed by subduction. It is located at a convergent boundary where the African Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate. The intense pressure and heat generated by this subduction process led to the formation of the volcano.


What marks the spot where a plate is being subducted?

Normally a trench develops, marking the area of subduction.


What is the boundary of mount fuji is it a divergent bountry subduction or hot spot?

The boundary of Mount Fuji is created by the subduction of the Pacific Plate underneath the North American Plate. This subduction has led to the formation of the volcanic arc that includes Mount Fuji.
