Most of Earth's earthquakes (especially the larger ones) are concentrated along the Earth's tectonic plate boundaries, particularly the destructive ones. However some earthquakes (and even some large ones) do happen away from these areas in the centre of the tectonic plates and these are called 'intra plate' earthquakes - where 'intra' means 'interior'.

Intraplate volcanism may be associated with what formation?
Intraplate volcanism may be associated with hotspots. These are areas where magma rises from deep within the mantle to the surface of the Earth, independent of tectonic plate boundaries. The Hawaiian Islands are a famous example of intraplate volcanism caused by a hotspot.
Which volcano is an example of intraplate volcanism?
Kilauea in Hawaii, which formed over a hot spot
Are the Deccan Plateau Hot Spots and Hawaii Hot Spots examples of intraplate volcanism?
Yes, both the Deccan Plateau Hot Spot in India and the Hawaii Hot Spot in the Pacific are examples of intraplate volcanism. Intraplate volcanism occurs within the interior of tectonic plates, away from plate boundaries, and is often associated with hot spots that generate mantle plumes leading to volcanic activity.
What is the source of magma for intraplate volcanism?
Rift zone
What is the relationship between hot spots and volcanism?
Hot spots are regions in the Earth's mantle where plumes of hot material rise, leading to volcanic activity at the surface. Unlike most volcanism, which occurs at tectonic plate boundaries, hot spot volcanism can happen in the middle of tectonic plates. As the tectonic plate moves over the stationary hot spot, a series of volcanoes can form, creating a volcanic chain, such as the Hawaiian Islands. Thus, hot spots are crucial for understanding intraplate volcanism and the formation of certain volcanic features.

Is Yellowstone a intraplate volcanism?
Yes, because it is not a plate boundary...and Wikipedia said it is. Jim

What is the definition of intraplate volcanism and how does it differ from other types of volcanic activity?
Intraplate volcanism refers to volcanic activity that occurs within the interior of a tectonic plate, away from the boundaries where most volcanoes are typically found. This type of volcanic activity is different from other types, such as subduction zone volcanism, which occur at plate boundaries where one plate is forced beneath another. Intraplate volcanism is often associated with hotspots or mantle plumes that create localized areas of magma upwelling and volcanic eruptions.
