both seafloor plates and contenitial plates

OpenStudy (isaac.tillman03):

There are three main places where volcanoes originate: *Hot spots, *Divergent plate boundaries (such as rifts and mid-ocean ridges), and *Convergent plate boundaries (subduction zones) The origin of the magma for hot spots is not well known. We do know that the magma comes from partial melting within the upper mantle, probably from depths not too much greater than 100 km. The actual source of the heat that causes the partial melting (the actual hotspot itself) is almost certainly much deeper than that, but we really don't know how deep or even exactly what a hotspot is!
