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.
What is the relationship between the location of volcanoes and the earth's tectonic plates?
The locations of volcanoes related to plate boundaries are most volcanoes are located at either divergent or convergent plate boundaries, where plate motions provide the mechanisms to form magma. suck dicl
Explain how the boundaries of tectonic plates can be inferred from the location of earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes often occur at plate boundaries due to the movement and interactions of tectonic plates. By mapping the locations of these events, scientists can identify the boundaries between different plates. For example, earthquakes along a linear pattern called a seismic zone usually indicate a fault line where two plates are moving past each other. Similarly, volcanic arcs often form above subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another.
What is the relationship between the location of earthquakes volcanoes trenches and plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen along the edges of the plates.
Which plate boundaries do not form volcanoes?

Where do volcanos happen?
Most volcanoes appear at the tectonic plate boundaries where friction between the plates and the mantle makes magma which then push through near the plate boundaries forming volcanoes.
What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?
What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.
What is the different kinds of plates?
There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries (plates move apart), convergent boundaries (plates collide), and transform boundaries (plates slide past each other). These boundaries can create various features such as mountain ranges, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where the movement of the plates causes stress and forces to build up. These boundaries are classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, each with distinct seismic and volcanic activity associated with their movements.
Where are volcanoes mostly caused?
You can find volcanoes on plate boundaries because when the plates crash into each other they cause an eruption sending all above it upwards, e.g. sending the lava upwards and the rocks causing a volcano, the tectonic plates are also the reason that things such as tsunami's occur.
Are volcanoes located in the center plates?
Not usually. Most volcanoes are located near plate boundaries, but some volcanoes at hot spots do form in the middle of plates. A few include the volcanoes of Hawaii, the volcano at Yellowstone, and the Volcanoes of the Canary Islands.
