    all i know is that volcanos are loacted 75%on convergent boundries and the rest on divergent boundries. and hot spots are just hot magma plumes under the earth on those boundries.

    To answer this question require you to look at the location of each volcano, look at an Atlas online and then figure out how it fits in thw world. for instance Moana Loa is in the middle of the Pacific Plate, so it is most likely a….Hot Spot (also evidenced by the string of extinct volcanoes that make up the rest of the chain of the islands.

    I know that Mauna Loa is a hotspot… only the ones around hawaii are hotspots… japan’s unzen is a convergent one. the one in philipines and indonesia are also convergent… others i dunno…
