Beneath the Earth's crust is a lot of magma. Thus as the plates pull apart, it leaves a gap through which the magma can travel and erupt as lava. For example at the Mid Atlantic Ridge, there are divergent plate boundaries. The 'gap' between the divorcing plates allows magma to boil through, building up the ridge in the process.

Divergent boundaries are boundaries that spread about also known as dividing. Volcanoes form in between the boundary and the magma starts to rise causing it to erupt

Where do most of Earth's volcanoes form?
they are most likely to form were the plates of the earth are most active ... like Hawaii.
Can volcanoes form along divergent plate boundaries on land?
yes
What boundary is it when a volcano formed?
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
How is divergent convergent and transform plate boundaries similar?
They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.
Is Mount Vesuvius near a hot spot divergent or convergent plate boundary?
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
Where do most valcanoes form?
the correct answer is: A: along plate boundaries.
Do most valcanoes form near colliding plate boundaries?
yes
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent

Transform, Divergent, and Convergent
What landforms are formed at diverging boundaries?
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.
How are oceanic ridges form?
divergent boundaries
Where do volcanic mountains commonly form?
A. along convergent plat boundaries. B. At high elevations. C. Away from plate boundaries. D. Along divergent plate boundaries. YOU DECIDE!!!
What boundary is it when a volcano formed?
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
