Scientists wondered how volcanoes could be located so far from tectonic plate boundaries until one proposed the idea of **hotspots** where the magma is much hotter than the surrounding magma. These are **fixed** and do not move with tectonic plates. They are responsible for the creation of **volcanic** island chains.
