They can be. Where a volcano forms does not determine its state of activity. Volcanoes produced under any geologic conditions known to produce volcanism can be active, dormant, or extinct.

What types of volcanoes form at mid-ocean ridges?
Rift volcanoes.
Why are rift zones a common spot for igneous rock to form?
The thinned crust in rift zones results in the formation of magma (molten rock) in the upper mantle, which then rises through the crust. As a result, rift zones often have active volcanoes, which form new igneous rocks.
Have any volcanoes ever existed in virginiw?
Quite possibly, yes. Virginia's location on the eastern coast of North America would put it in an active rift zone about 170 million years ago as the supercontinent of Pangaea was beginning to break up. Rift zones such as this often result in the formation of volcanoes.
Finding magma rocks?
Near active or extinct volcanoes, eroded mountains, or rift zones. Can also have been transported to other areas by ice or water.
What is the current most active rift?
