As two plates spread apart from each other at the boundary, magma that was trapped below wells up between them. This magma can be released in the form of volcanoes or ooze out from rift valleys.
What causes volcano to form at a spreading plate boundary?
Light lithospheric material melts in the subducted zone and gradually rises through the crust (by a process called overhead stoping).
As two plates spread apart from each other at the boundary, magma that was trapped below wells up between them. This magma can be released in the form of volcanoes or ooze out from rift valleys.
A transform plate boundary
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.

A transform plate boundary
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary
Divergent boundaries is the other name for a spreading plate boundary.
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
Divergent Plate Boundary. (Seafloor Spreading).
The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.
The Transform plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes - Professer Humifiken

Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
