Active volcanoes demonstraight the location of active plate boundries. Dormant volcanoes, such as the Japanese island chain, demonstraight how plate boundries have shifted over time.

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.

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 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.


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.
