Which type of plate boundary is associated with volcanoes on land?
Volcanoes on continents can develop at path convergent and divergent boundaries. They can occur where an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate, producing a volcanic arc such as in the Cascade Range. Volcanoes can also occur in areas of rifting, such as Africa's Great Rift Valley, a developing divergent boundary. Where two oceanic plates converge volcanoes can develop underwater and eventually form volcanic islands. Volcanoes can also develop away from a plate boundary over a hot spot.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanoes?
A transform plate boundary
What type of plate boundary to volcanoes not occur?
Ocean to ocean convergent plate boundaries do not have a chain of composite cone volcanoes. The ocean plate that is more dense will sink beneath the other ocean plate.
At which type of plate boundary does rift-volcanism occur?
Volcanoes can be formed on both convergent and divergent boundaries.

What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary
Is a destructive plate boundary hazardous?
Very much so. This is where volcanoes, earthquakes and even tsunamis can occur.

What kind of plate boundary is Pingvellir National Park located at?
It is divergent between the North American and Eurasian plates. Volcanoes and earthquakes do occur along the boundary.
What kind of plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes?
The Transform plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes - Professer Humifiken
What kind of boundaries can cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
What do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?
Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
