3. Ocean-Ocean Divergent

4. Oceanic hot spots

5. Continent-Continent Transform

6. Ocean-Continent Convergent

7. Ocean-Ocean Transform

8. Continent-Continent Convergent

9. Ocean-Ocean Convergent

Answer 1

Answer: Options (1), (3), (4), (6) and (9)

Explanation: Hot-spots are the region of active volcanisms and this could be due to the presence of large mantle plumes, plate tectonic movement, as well as other reasons.

Hot-spots are generated in the following tectonically active boundaries such as-

• Convergence of two oceanic plates.
• Convergence of an oceanic and  continental plate.
• Divergence of two oceanic plates.
• Hotspots within the oceanic and continental plate.
