Do volcanoes occur in hot countries?

Volcanoes can occur in hot countries, but they are not exclusive to them. Volcanoes are often found along tectonic plate boundaries where magma from the Earth's mantle can reach the surface. This can happen in both hot and cold regions.


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).


What do hot spots do?

flood basalts and volcanoes


How are hot spot volcanoes different from volcanoes in other places?

Hot spot volcanoes such as those in Hawaii and the Yellowstone Caldera form as a result of extra hot material rising from deep within the mantle. While most volcanoes can only form near plate boundaries, hot spot volcanoes can form in the middle of a tectonic plate. Unlike at subduction zones, which are generally associated with stratovolcanoes, hot spots that form under oceanic crust typically produce shield volcanoes. Hot spots under continental crust can be more complicated and have produced every variety of volcano.


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.

Are shield volcanoes hot spots?
