Volcanic mountains such the Hawaiian islands can only be found along tectonic plate boundaries?

Volcanic mountains like the Hawaiian Islands primarily form over hotspots rather than at tectonic plate boundaries. The Hawaiian Islands were created by a stationary hotspot in the Earth's mantle that produces magma, which erupts to form volcanoes as the Pacific Plate moves over it. While many volcanic mountains are indeed found at convergent or divergent plate boundaries, hotspots can create volcanic islands far from these boundaries, as seen in Hawaii.

What Hawaiian Islands were formed by which constructive process?

How do volcanoes that form over a hot spot differ from volcanoes that form at convergent plate boundaries?

Volcanoes that form over a hot spot are usually more isolated and can produce a chain of volcanic islands, like the Hawaiian Islands. In contrast, volcanoes at convergent plate boundaries are often part of larger volcanic arcs and can be associated with more explosive eruptions due to the subduction of oceanic plates beneath continental plates.
