Tsunami's are a secondary Geophysical hazard... Not hydrometeorlogical!

A hotspot can be a place with a volcano - intraplate volcanoes caused by magma from the mantle pushing through the crust are called volcanic hotspots (eg hawaii). You need to refine that last question to specify that you're talking about hazard hotspots, not volcanic.
