Intraplate vulcanism; A hot spot is an area of persistent volcanic activity. Hot spots originate at unusually hot areas of the mantle-core boundary. Overlying mantle melts forming plumes of magma that rise and penetrate the crust forming volcanoes.

Hotspot (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|
|
In geology, a hotspot is a location on the Earth's surface that has experienced active volcanism for a long period of time. J. Tuzo Wilson came up with the idea in 1963 that volcanic chains like the...

In many locations the hot molten magma from deep within the Earth rises up through the crust to reach the surface. This sometimes happens in the middle of plates. When a hot spot forms in the middle of a plate, it remains constant, as the plate continues to move over it. ... Hawaii is a world famous volcanic hot spot...

New images of filled-in craters — one the size of the Baltimore-Washington area and filled in with cooled lava more than a mile deep — show that 3.8 to 4 billion years ago, Mercury was more of a volcanic hot spot than the moon ever was, Zuber said.
