Most volcanoes form at a convergent plate boundary. Simply put when a oceanic plate and a continental plate hit each other face on the subduction of the oceanic plate causes the magma to rise and the converging of the plates makes a mountain and the magma rises through the top creating a volcano.
The Convergent boundary forms a subduction zone. When the heavier plate reaches 100km the water is released from the submerged plate, and the mantle starts to melt. The mantle rises and a volcano forms on the lighter side plate. Unless it is a continent-continent convergent plate where mostly mountains are forms.
volcanoes form along a mid-ocean ridge and at a diverging plate boundary
many of the volcanoes are around the pacific plate
Convergent and divergent boundaries
Divergent
Yes. Generally that is where the tectonic plates are. Mountain and volcanoes are formed by tectonic plate movement, so yes they are 2 features that are most commonly found at plate boundaries. Fault Block Mountains(:
Transform, Divergent, and Convergent
Volcanoes usually occur on a major tectonic plate boundaries. Most occur near the edges of a plate, some occur in the middle of the plate.
Regional metamorphism takes place in large areas around plate boundaries.
Most geological activity occurs where the earth's tectonic plates come together. This causes volcanoes and mountains to form while it also causes earthquakes.
volcanos mostly form on tectonic plate boundaries and hot stops
Yes. Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with plate boundaries.
yes most volcanoes do from near colliding plate boundries
they are most likely to form were the plates of the earth are most active ... like Hawaii.
Most are found on converging
The locations of volcanoes related to plate boundaries are most volcanoes are located at either divergent or convergent plate boundaries, where plate motions provide the mechanisms to form magma. suck dicl
pacific
Most volcanoes form at either convergent or divergent plate boundaries. Volcanoes at convergent plate boundaries form when one plate slides under another, taking seawater with it. This causes the rock in the mantle to melt as the melting point drops. This new magma can rise to form volcanoes.At divergent plate boundaries the crust is thing, which lowers pressure on the mantle, causing some material to melt.
plate boundaries
along plate boundaries
Most volcanoes appear at the tectonic plate boundaries where friction between the plates and the mantle makes magma which then push through near the plate boundaries forming volcanoes.
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia
