A volcano itself is not an example of a plate boundary. They are found at divergent and convergent boundaries.

Is a composite volcano on a divergent boundary or convergent boundary?

They can be associated with both, but are most often found near convergent boundaries.


What type of tectonic boundary forms a volcano?

Normally a Divergent boundary because as the plates diverge, lava spews out, but they can also form at a Convergent boundary, or, although less likely, a transform boundary.


Is a volcano a convergent boundary?

No. A volcano is not a plate boundary. Most volcanoes on land are associated with convergent boundaries, but many are associated with divergent boundaries and others with hot spots.

Is the Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano on a convergent divergent or transform boudary?

The Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano is located in Tanzania near the East African Rift, which is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This rift is part of the larger East African Rift System, where new crust is being formed as the African Plate splits into the Nubian Plate and the Somali Plate.

Why don't volcano's form along San Andres fault?

When volcanoes form, they are typically caused by a convergent or divergent motion. The San Andreas Fault was formed from a transform motion, or when the plates slide past each other.


What type of boundary is paricutin on divergent or convergent?

Paricutin is located on a convergent boundary. The volcano formed as a result of the subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the North American Plate in Mexico.
