∙ 15y agoNo, the Hawaiian islands were formed by volcanoes and they aren't near the edge of the Pacific Plate.

∙ 12y agoNo, for example, The Hawaiian Islands are volcanoes and they are far away from the edge of the Pacific Plate. They were formed by a hot spot.

∙ 11y agoSometimes, but not usually. Most volcanoes are near the edges of plates.

Why do volcanoes erupt by boundaries the most?
beause the tectonic plates colide a rise up to form volcanoes they only occur on the boundries of the plates
Do colliding plates cause volcanoes?
i didn't know either, It is definatly either mountains or volcanoes, but it is difficult to dissifer which one. I am doing this for my Yr9 geography project on Boundarys and i still havn't found the answer. sorry.
How many dormant volcanoes?
We don't know. We can only catalog the volcanoes we know about. There are probably more dormant volcanoes, especially under the ocean, that we haven't found yet.
Why does the ring of fire have the most active volcanoes?
There are more active volcanoes in the ring of fire because the ring of fire has the most moving plates. When plates move they cause volcanic eruptions. Places farther away or not in the ring of fire will not erupt as often or will only erupt once before extinction.
Why is Europe not part of the ring of fire?
Italy and iceland are positioned above fault lines. This means the the areas around the fault lines are prone to volcanic activity, explaining the existence of active volcanoes. The rest of Europe has no active volcanoes as no where else in euroe is an area positioned above a tectonic plate boundary. meaning no volcanism occurs.
Why are no volcanoes found in certain parts of world?
Volcanoes are only found on the edge of tectonic plates & they can also be found on cracks in the tectonic plates which is un-common
Do volcanoes form only on the edges of plates?
Yes

Are tectonic plates boundaries the only locations where volcanoes form?
No. About 10% of volcanoes on Earth form at hot spots away from late boundaries. Additionally, the planets Venus and Mars and Jupiter's moon Io have volcanoes but do not appear to have tectonic plates.
Are volcanoes only found on constructive plate boundaries?
No

Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.

What kind of energy is available only where natural geysers or volcanoes are found?
Geothermal energy.
