Map of Important Volcanic hotspots.

A volcanic hotspot is a fixed area in the Earth’s mantle where hot magma rises to the surface, creating volcanoes. Unlike volcanoes at plate boundaries, hotspots form within tectonic plates. As the plate moves over the hotspot, it creates a chain of volcanoes — like the Hawaiian Islands.

Remember that the mantle plum at the place of volcanic hotspot remains stable while the techtonic plate moves over it.
