Hotspot Volcano Hazards. The mcdermitt volcanic field, located on the. Volcanic hot spots are plumes of molten rock which rise from the mantle and cause the crust to melt, creating magma resulting in volcanic activity. Over 16.5 million years, the hot spot has generated 15 to 20 massive eruptions that left large volcanic depressions called calderas. The map below shows the location of volcanic. Many (about 75%) occur around the 'ring of fire' surrounding the pacific. In geology, a hotspot is an area of the earth’s mantle from which hot plumes rise upward, forming volcanoes on the overlying crust. The joint mantle plume/hotspot hypothesis envisages the feeder structures to be fixed relative to one another, with the continents and seafloor drifting overhead. Samoa is composed of a linear chain of volcanic islands. The world’s active volcanoes are found at constructive and destructive plate boundaries, and at hotspots. Like earthquakes, most active volcanoes occur at or near to plate boundaries.
