A plate boundary where tectonic plates move together rock forced downward melts and comes back up to form a volcano?

This is called a divergent boundary. Here, two tectonic plates are moving away from each other, causing a rift in the crust. This allows magma to come up through the crack and create new crust. These boundaries are creative, as opposed to convergent boundaries which are destructive.

What plate tectonic is kirishima volcano on?
Convergent plate boundary.(:
Which tectonic plate is the puyehue volcano on?
The Puyehue Volcano is on the South America Plate near the Convergent boundary between the South America and Nazca Plates
What is a mid-plate volcano?
A mid-plate volcano, also known as a hot-spot, is an eruption of lava that is NOT on a plate boundary. It occurs right in the middle of a tectonic plate instead of on the boundary of one of them. An example of one is in Hawaii.
Which boundary forms new crust?
Crust is formed at the edge of a tectonic plate by, when a volcano erupts, the lava or magma (same thing) hits the edge of a tectonic plate and cools and dries on the edge of that tectonic plate.
Is the falcon volcano on a divergent boundary?
No, but the last time it erupted was in 1936.
What plate tectonic is kirishima volcano on?
Convergent plate boundary.(:
What type of tectonic boundary forms a volcano?
Normally a Divergent boundary because as the plates diverge, lava spews out, but they can also form at a Convergent boundary, or, although less likely, a transform boundary.
Which tectonic plate is the puyehue volcano on?
The Puyehue Volcano is on the South America Plate near the Convergent boundary between the South America and Nazca Plates
Cause and effect of volcano?
Global Warming can be an effect of a volcano, and the cause is two tectonic plates rubbing together.Global Warming can be an effect of a volcano, and the cause is two tectonic plates rubbing together.

How would a volcano erupt?
A volcano erupts when one tectonic plate subducts below the other. The magma then flows through the gap, causing the volcano to erupt. This is called a destructive plate boundary xxx
What divergent boundary?
A Divergent boundary is when two tectonic plates pull away from each other. (this can form a volcano because magma will come up through the crack in the earth)
Is the falcon volcano on a divergent boundary?
No, but the last time it erupted was in 1936.
Why are volcanoes located at the destination?
It depends. If it's at a divergent boundary at a tectonic plate, the two plates divide there and magma from the uppermost mantle seeps in and that forms a volcano. if it is at a convergent boundary, then the plates push up against each other and it forms a volcano where the fault is.
How are volcano mountain related to interaction of plates?
Volcanoes are related to the interaction of tectonic plates because at the site of a volcano, there is a convergent boundary. This is when two tectonic plates come together to create a mountain. Sometimes, the magma underneath the crust pushes upwards, which melts more and more rock from the tectonic plates. This allows volcanoes to begin to form. After there is a fair amount of the inner part of the crust melted away, convection of the magma helps the magma to rise, and thus an eruption happening, and the volcano getting bigger over time.
What volcano word starts with t?
tectonic is related with volcano so it tectonic can be part of the answer as well
