What is the difference between a hotspot and a plate boundary?

A hotspot is a location on the Earth's surface where a column of hot mantle material rises up through the crust, creating volcanic activity. It is typically a stationary point and does not move with the tectonic plates. In contrast, a plate boundary is a region where two tectonic plates meet and interact. Plate boundaries can be classified into three types: divergent boundaries (where plates move apart), convergent boundaries (where plates collide), and transform boundaries (where plates slide past each other). Unlike hotspots, plate boundaries involve the movement and interaction of tectonic plates.
