Most common cause is imperfection in rotor or rotor's. Rust or hot spots.
Are hot springs and hot spots the same?
no but yes hot means hot but springs and spots are differ so the answer is no!
Are geological hot spots collisional?
No. Hot spots are not associated with plate boundaries.

Where do hot spots start?
hot spots begin at the boundary between the mantle and the outercore.
Where do hot spots originate?

What causes different kinds of volcanic mountains?
it can be caused by many things, such as hot spots, convergent plate boundaries, and divergent plate boundaries
