A volcano erupts because of the presure built up in the mantle. There is so much presure in the mantle because when a continental and oceanic plate converge the oceanic plate gets subducted .When the plate gets subducted the matireal in that plate melts making no more space in the mantle and forcing the magma already in the mantle out to the top of a volcano.aFTER THAT HAPPENS new islands will form on top of the oceanic plate (for example hawii is a growing state becase every year a volcano erups creating new islands.

fumaroles
What is a synonym for the geologic hot spot?
Depends on what kind of geological activity you are referring to, as for volcanic activity the ring of fire in the pacific ocean would be the major term used I suppose .
