Hotspots are volcanoes that form...

• at convergent plate boundaries.

• at divergent plate boundaries.

• at transform plate boundaries.

• in the middle of a tectonic plate.

Hotspots form because...

• magma is pushed to the surface at a plate boundary.

• a mantle plume weakens Earth's crust.

• water is pushed up to Earth's surface

• a mantle plume strengthens Earth's crust.

What type of volcano is this..

• Shield
• Cinder Cone
• Composite or Stratovolcano
