How are volcanoes on spreading ridges and rift zones different from those above descending edges of ocean plates?

They are different because the somali plate is moving away from the african plate so they are not togethet

What types of volcanoes are formed at spreading centers?
Volcanoes at spreading centers is referred to as spreading center volcanism. This usually takes place on mid-oceanic ridges where the plates diverge.
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
How do plate tectonics make a volcano erupt?
When two plates collide one pushes the other one down. Then the magma goes through the gaps between the plates and then the volcano erupts. Volcanoes can also erupt by the plates spreading apart.
What causes volcanoes to form at spreading plate boundaries?
As two plates spread apart from each other at the boundary, magma that was trapped below wells up between them. This magma can be released in the form of volcanoes or ooze out from rift valleys.
The plate on which the volanco is located?
There are hundreds of volcanoes in the world on many different plates. You will need to be more specific.
Can volcanoes be cause by spreading tectonic plates?
no

What happens in sea-floor spreading?
under water volcanoes move the oceanic plates and spread them
What happens in sea floor spreading?
under water volcanoes move the oceanic plates and spread them
Why are there different shapes of volcanoes?
Because of how the plates compress.
What causes volcanoes to form at spreading boundaries?
Please make the question clearer. There are converging and diverging boundaries but not spreading boundaries. Plates move but don't spread. Please make the question clearer
What is a subducting convergence boundary?
When plates are different densitys and collide to make volcanoes.
Do plates pulling apart cause volcanoes?
no but coliding plates create volcanoes
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.

Why do some areas have no volcanoes?
becuase volcanoes have plates under them.the places that dont have plates under them don't have volcanoes
What is the relationship between volcanoes and Earth's moving plates?
When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.
