Do explosive eruptions occur more near convergent boundary or divergent boundary?
Convergent boundaries.
What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
What are some words to describe a volcano?
Fire Lava Ash Grey Red Goo Unexpected Serious explosive rumbling powerful For inactive volcanoes: inactive dormant
What type of tectonic plate boundary is a strato-volcano on?
Most calderas are associated with subduction zones, a kind of convergent plate boundary. However, a few calderas, such as the ones at Yellowstone, are associated with hot spots rather than plate boundaries.
What types of boundaries are associated with volcanoes?
plates moving together
How do convergent and transform boundaries cause earthquakes?
It can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, mountains, tsunamis, and subduction.
Do explosive eruptions occur more near convergent boundary or divergent boundary?
Convergent boundaries.
What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
How do convergent boundaries set up conditions that form volcanoes?
It collides with the upper mantle that forms volcanoes with violent eruptions
What type of volcanic eruptions seems to occur most often where plates are crunching together?
Stratovolcanoes are usually found along convergent plate boundaries where an ocean plate is pushed under another ocean plate or a continental plate (subduction zone). If you are referring to convergent boundaries in which neither plate is subducted but both are pushed up to form mountains, then my answer would have to be that it is very rare for a volcano to form at this type of boundary.
Three type of plate boundaries where volcanic eruptions can occur?
Convergent, divergent, and, although not a plate boundary, they also occur from hotspots.

What are 3 types of boundaries where volcanic eruptions occur?
Divergent, since when the plates split, magma reaches the surface. Convergent, since it is where volcanoes are typically formed. Transform, since trough any crack magma can come out too.
What types of boundaries are associated with volcanoes?
plates moving together
What plate boundaries are the most destructive?
Convergent plate boundaries, and in particular, oceanic plate to continental plate collisions, may pose the most risk because of the possibility of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What do only the most violent volcanic eruptions feature?
The most violent volcanic eruptions are found in destructive/convergent plate boundaries. 80% of the world's active volcanoes are found occur along destructive boundaries. Acid-lava and composite volcanoes also cause the most violent eruptions as the lava is viscous and the opening of the volcano is sometimes blocked by hardened lava, causing a huge massive explosion during the eruption.
