multiple choice question
how do hot spots differ from the tectonic plates above them?
o they do not move.
o they are associated with volcanoes.

Brief Explanations
Hot spots are stationary plumes of magma rising from the mantle. Tectonic plates move over these fixed hot spots. Volcanoes form where the plate moves over a hot spot. Once the plate moves, a new volcano forms. So hot - spots do not move.
