Volcanoes are caused by convergent plate boundaries. As the oceanic and continental plate collide into each other, subduction occurs: the oceanic plate is denser so it goes under. As it gets more below the earth's surface, the temperature gets higher. Soon, it melts into magma and turns less dense, then rises up through the cracks of the continental plate above. This then causes volcanoes to form on top of the continental plate.

What types of Volcanoes can occur far from any plate boundaries?
Shield volcanoes may occur far from any plate boundaries.
What boundaries produce volcanos?
plate boundaries can produce volcanoes
What boundaries can produce volcanos?
plate boundaries can produce 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.
Earthquakes and occur at plate boundaries?
Volcanoes
What plate process causes volcanoes to form at their boundaries?
the plate of your mom
Where do most of earth volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
along plate boundaries
What boudaries produces volcanoes?
Convergent boundaries produce volcanoes. Volcanoes form when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge, causing the oceanic plate to subduct. The subduction causes a magma chamber to form which feeds the volcano when it erupts.
What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
Are volcanoes only found on constructive plate boundaries?
No
Where do volcanoes tend to exist?
On the edges of plate boundaries
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
Hotspot volcanoes form over a fixed hotspot in the mantle, resulting in a chain of volcanoes as the tectonic plate moves over it, like the Hawaiian Islands. Volcanoes at plate boundaries are formed by the interaction of tectonic plates, where one plate is forced under another (subduction) or plates move apart (divergence), creating volcanic activity along the boundary, like the Ring of Fire.
