∙ 8y agoContinental volcanic arcs are the result of a subduction plate boundary. An example of this type of plate boundary can be seen in the Cascade Volcanic Arc which extends from Canada south to Northern California. The volcanoes in this arc are the result of the Juan De Fuca plate (and a couple of other smaller fracture plates) being subducted under the North American plate resulting in the formation of the volcanic arc along the western United States.

What plate boundary is not associated with volcanoes?
A transform plate boundary
Which type of plate boundary is associated with volcanoes on land?
Volcanoes on continents can develop at path convergent and divergent boundaries. They can occur where an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate, producing a volcanic arc such as in the Cascade Range. Volcanoes can also occur in areas of rifting, such as Africa's Great Rift Valley, a developing divergent boundary. Where two oceanic plates converge volcanoes can develop underwater and eventually form volcanic islands. Volcanoes can also develop away from a plate boundary over a hot spot.
What feature is associated with a continental plate boundary?
At a convergent plate boundary one of the features is mountains. Volcanoes are also typical.
Is mount adatara a plate boundary or a hotspot?
Mount Adatara is associated with a convergent plate boundary, as are all of Japan's volcanoes.
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.
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanoes?
A transform plate boundary
What is the plate boundary of the cascade mountains?
The Cascades are associated with a subduction zone, a type of convergent boundary.

What type of boundaries are associated with Icelandic Volcanoes associated?
The type of boundary associated with Icelandic volcanoes is the constructive plate boundary, where two plates slowly move apart and magma seeps up through the gap.
Is mount adatara a plate boundary or a hotspot?
Mount Adatara is associated with a convergent plate boundary, as are all of Japan's volcanoes.
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.
What are continental mountain ranges associated with?
Plate tectonics, (inter-continental plate collision).
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate 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.
What type of plate boundary is creating mt kilauea?
Kilauea is not associated with a plate boundary, it and the other Hawaiian volcanoes are the result of a hot spot.
Are cinder cone volcanoes located in the middle of a tectonic plate or at the boundary?
Most volcanoes of any type, including cinder cones, are found at plate boundaries, but some are associated with hot spots.
