Most volcanoes form near subduction faults. When one plate slide under the edge of another plate, the edge of it melts under the rocky crust. Eventually, the pool of molten rock and gases that result get enough pressure that they force a pathway to the surface open, releasing the gas and magma as a volcano. However, some volcanoes form from hot spots, which are not well understood and can be located extremely far from the edge of a plate.
What else can I help you with?
Are there any active volcanoes in Serbia?
No, there are no active volcanoes in Serbia. Serbia is not located on a tectonic plate boundary where volcanic activity typically occurs.
Are there volcanoes in Lebanon?
Glady, there arn't any volcanoes in Lebanon.
What type of rock makes shield volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes are typically formed from basaltic lava flows, which are low in silica content and very fluid. This type of lava allows for the gradual buildup of wide, gently sloping volcanic cones characteristic of shield volcanoes.
Are there volcanoes in Saskatchewan?
No, there are no active volcanoes in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan is not located near any tectonic plate boundaries where volcanic activity typically occurs.
Were can hotspot volcanoes be located?
The most famous hot spot volcano is Hawaii as all the Hawaiian islands were formed by them.
What feature is Japan located on?
Japan was mostly formed by volcanoes. Apparently it is located on a fault line though.
What landforms is not formed by deposition?
Volcanoes are landforms that are not typically formed by deposition. Instead, volcanoes are created through the eruption of molten rock, ash, and gases onto the Earth's surface.
Are there any active volcanoes in Serbia?

Why is New Zealand located where it is and how is it good for the country?
New Zealand, which is its own country, is located where it is because that is where the lava from the volcanoes formed it and the water movements.

How was Philippines formed?
it is said that Philippines was formed by volcanoes. it appears that the volcanoes underneath the ocean has the same core of the volcanoes found here in the Philippines
Why are volcanoes typically located near medium and deep earthquakes?
because there by the edge of the tectonic plates.
What type volcano'are there?
There are three main types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and stratovolcanoes (also known as composite volcanoes). Shield volcanoes have broad, sloping sides and are typically formed from low-viscosity lava flows. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided cones formed from the accumulation of pyroclastic material. Stratovolcanoes are tall, conical volcanoes composed of alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks.
Are there any volcanoes in Hong Kong?
No, there are no active volcanoes in Hong Kong. The region is not located on a tectonic plate boundary where volcanic activity typically occurs.
