Well...
Volcano hotspots are mostly on the boarders of tectonic plates.
A huge volcano hotspot is the pacific ring of fire.... which is in the Pacific Ocean where major tectonic plates meet. If you want to see some maps of where the pacific ring of fire is, just go to Google images and search for the pacific ring of fire.
What else can I help you with?
Are volcanoes located in the center plates?
Not usually. Most volcanoes are located near plate boundaries, but some volcanoes at hot spots do form in the middle of plates. A few include the volcanoes of Hawaii, the volcano at Yellowstone, and the Volcanoes of the Canary Islands.
What do hot spots do?
flood basalts and volcanoes
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots?
Hot spots have generated all types of volcanoes but are most often. If you mean to ask about specific volcanoes, there are too many to count, so a few groups and notable volcanoes will be listed: The volcanoes of Hawaii The volcanoes of the Canary Islands The Yellowstone supervolcano The San Francisco volcanic complex (including Sunset Crater and the San Francisco Peaks) The volcanoes of Iceland (associated with both a hot spot and a divergent plate boundary).
Do volcanoes occur at hot spots?
No. Hot spots and subduction zones are two separate geogolgic settings in which volcanoes can form. Some hot spots may develop as a result of activity in a subduction zone, and continue activity after subduction has ended or move away.
What type of volcanoes form on a hot spot?
Shield volcanoes typically form on hot spots. These volcanoes have gentle slopes due to the low-viscosity basaltic lava they produce. Examples of shield volcanoes formed on hot spots include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and Galapagos Islands in Ecuador.
What volcanoes are located along divergent boundaries?
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
What volcanoes are located are located along plate boundaries?
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
What is an area such as that where the stray volcanoes are located called?
Areas where stray volcanoes are located are called 'Hot Spots' such as the volcanoes located on the Hawaian islands
Where are volcanoes that always have nonexplosive eruptions located?
They are located at divergent boundaries and hot spots.
Are shield volcanoes hot spots?
Shield volcanoes are not hot spots but they are associated with them. However, such volcanoes can also form at rift zones.
Can volcanoes appear anywhere on earth?
Not just anywhere. Most volcanoes are located at plate boundaries. The rest are located at locations called hot spots.
Do you find volcanoes at a hot spot?
Yes, it is not uncommon to find volcanoes at hot spots.
Are volcanoes located in the center plates?
Not usually. Most volcanoes are located near plate boundaries, but some volcanoes at hot spots do form in the middle of plates. A few include the volcanoes of Hawaii, the volcano at Yellowstone, and the Volcanoes of the Canary Islands.

Where do shield volcanoes form?
at hot spots(a place where volcanoes are very active)
