Mt. Helens is formed on a subduction plate boundary, while a hotspot is formed because of mantle plumes, which are usually not on a plate boundary.

What is the different for a hot spot to a eruption?
A hot spot is an area where extra hot mantle material wells up from deep inside the mantle, forming magma that can lead to the formation of volcanoes. An eruption is an event in which a volcano ejects ash, gas, or molten rock. Most volcanoes are not associated with hot spots.
