Volcanoes happen in specific places. They can occur in three geologic settings:

  • Divergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates pull apart.
  • Subduction zones, where an oceanic plate slides into the mantle
  • Hot spots, where extra hot mantle material rises to the bottom of the crust.
