What is a example of volcanic hotspot?

An example of a volcanic hotspot is the Hawaiian Islands. The hot spot underneath the Pacific Plate creates a chain of volcanic islands, with active volcanoes like Kilauea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii. As the Pacific Plate moves northwestward over the hotspot, new islands form while older ones become extinct and erode.


What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?

Hotspot volcanoes form over a fixed hotspot in the mantle, resulting in a chain of volcanoes as the tectonic plate moves over it, like the Hawaiian Islands. Volcanoes at plate boundaries are formed by the interaction of tectonic plates, where one plate is forced under another (subduction) or plates move apart (divergence), creating volcanic activity along the boundary, like the Ring of Fire.
