What chain of islands are formed because of a hot spot?

A Hot spot is stationary in time and burns though the solid lithosphere creating an island through volcanic eruptions. The lithosphere is separated into plates that move around so if a hot spot occurs under an oceanic plate it forms a island and as the plate moves (and the hot spot does not) it forms a chain of islands (as the plate moves over the hot spot). This is how the Hawaiian chain is formed.

In plate tectonic theory what does a hot spot create?

A hot spot is an area of volcanic activity that occurs independently of tectonic plate boundaries. As a tectonic plate moves over a hot spot, a linear chain of volcanoes forms on the plate surface. The most well-known example of this is the Hawaiian Islands.

What is the difference between the volcanic activity that occurs at a hot spot and the volcanic activity at a subduction boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?

The hot spot volcanic activity is not dependent on the subduction and melting of oceanic crust. The hot spot simply appears to be a non-moving place in the Earth's mantle where heat rises from the interior.
