A hot spot is in earths mantle.a hot spot is an area where material from deep within the mantle rises and then melts, forming magma and volcano forms above a hot spot when magma erupts and reaches the surface.

∙ 11y agoThe tectonic plates underneath are turning over and over again then they push together which makes a mountain like thing... The magma underneath fills up then suddenly bursts out then...BOOM...it erupts.
Hot Spots are volcanic regions...
Famous Hot Spots
1. Yellowstone Caldera
2. Island of Iceland(only hot spot on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge)

∙ 11y agoHot spots are breaks in the Earth's crust where magma comes through. This usually happens in the ocean, like the Hawaiian islands. Volcanoes form over these hot spots as lava piles up and cools on top of itself. In the case of Hawaii, the tectonic plate moved slowly over a hot spot in the Pacific Ocean. As time went on, the lava built up enough to form islands, and this is still happening today. Another island is being formed now in the chain of Hawaiian islands. I forgot the name, but if you need it, you can search for it.
Another possible location for hot spot volcanoes would be the Ring of Fire, encircling the Pacific Ocean. This ring includes volcanoes from Japan, Alaska, and South America.

∙ 10y agoAs you know, the Earth's crust constantly releases gases. It has to come out of somewhere. Hotspot volcanoes are easy passageways for the gas to escape, so it will use that path often.

How do hotspots form?
Hotspots are thought to form due to mantle plumes. This is the upwelling of high temperature material from deep within the mantle. This high temperature material causes partial melting of the shallow mantle and overlying crust leading to a "hotspot" and volcanism.
