Scientists wondered how volcanoes can be located so far from the tectonic plate boundaries until one part of one proposed idea of "mantle plumes" emerged, suggesting that these plumes of hot, molten rock rise from deep within the Earth's mantle, creating hot spots. These mantle plumes can generate volcanic activity independently of tectonic plate boundaries, resulting in the formation of volcanoes far from any tectonic interactions.
