Usually, yes. Occasionally, though they can form in rift zones or at continental hotspots.

What kind of volcanoes form along subduction zones?
Usually composite volcanoes. subduction zone volcanos usually form steep sided composite cones composed primarily of andesite
A composite volcano is most likely to form where?
Composite volcanoes most often form near subduction zones.
Where are composite volcanoes usually found-?
in the north pole during the winter months.
Where are composite volcanoes most likely to form?
Composite volcanoes, also known as stratovolcanoes, are most likely to form in subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another. This is because the subduction zone creates a favorable environment for the magma to rise and accumulate. Examples of composite volcanoes include Mount St. Helens in the United States and Mount Fuji in Japan.
Where do large number of volcanoes form?
Volcanoes Form at Active Subduction Zones or in the ring of fire

How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
What kind of explosions do composite volcanoes?
Composite volcanoes have subduction zone eruptions. Some of the most spectacular of volcanoes such as Krakatoa and Mt. St. Helen's have had this type of explosion.

Is Shield volcanoes found along subduction zones?
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
What volcanoes form at spreading zones?
composite volcanoes
Compare and contrast composite and shield volcanos?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
