There are more than just five hot spots throughout the whole Earth. There is the Tasman hot spot, the Hawaii hot spot, the Galapagos hot spot, the Yellowstone hot spot, Easter Island hot spot, Bouvet hot spot, St. Helena hot spot, the Canary Islands hot spot, and then Iceland hot spot.
Yes, Eyjafjallajökull is not considered a hot spot volcano. It is a stratovolcano located in Iceland along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. Its eruptions are typically caused by the movement of these tectonic plates, rather than mantle plumes associated with hot spots.
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.
Hot spots are located below Earth's surface. They are stationary points where magma from the mantle plume rises and creates volcanic activity. Over time, as tectonic plates move, hot spots can create chains of volcanic islands on the Earth's surface.
Hot spot and izzi rocks
They aren't necessarily. Several well-known hot spots are in tropical areas, but a number are not. We have the Hawaiian and Galapagos hot spots, but we also have hot spots under Yellowstone, Iceland, and Antarctica.
The Hawaiian islands, Iceland, and Yellowstone are three examples of hot spots.
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).

hot spots begin at the boundary between the mantle and the outercore.
Hot spots begin at where 2 plates move apart
The flow of molten magma is what causes varying hot spots on Earth. Hot spots are also known to heat water beneath the ground.
No, Iceland is still very cold, although not as cold as Greenland.
No, hot springs and hot spots are different geological features. Hot springs are natural bodies of water heated by underground geothermal activity, while hot spots are areas where molten rock from Earth's mantle rises to the surface, creating volcanic activity.
