Answer 2

Earthquakes *usually* occur along plate boundaries. Usually, but not always. Hot spot areas, like Hawaii, Yellowstone and Mammoth are not on or near plate boundaries, but have many earthquakes related to volcanic activity @friendzone

Answer 9

"Hotspots" is the name given to volcanic areas believed to be formed by mantle plumes, which are hypothesized to be columns of hot material rising from the core-mantle boundary in a fixed space that causes large-volume melting. Because tectonic plates move across them, each volcano becomes dormant and is eventually reformed as the plate advances over the postulated plume. The Hawaiian Islands have been suggested to have been formed in such a manner, as well as the Snake River Plain, with the Yellowstone Caldera being the part of the North American plate currently above the hot spot. This theory is currently under criticism, however
