Answer:

Intraplate volcanism

Step-by-step explanation:

Intraplate volcanism is the type of volcanic activity usually of the effusive type, in which magma is released through centers of volcanic activity within the lithospheric plates, called hot spots.

This type of volcanism is generated by HOT SPOTS. They are mantle feathers capable of crossing the lithosphere that rise and form volcanoes. The islands of Hawaii, the Kilimanjaro in Africa, are generated this way.
