Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?

What do plates do at divergent plate boundaries?
plates move away from each other.
What happens when plates separate from each other?

What is it called when the plates are moving toward each other?
This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.
