What plate boundary is not associated with volcanoes?
A transform plate boundary
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
What kind of plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes?
The Transform plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes - Professer Humifiken
What continents have edges that are not at all on a plate boundary?
Antarctica is the only continent that does not have any edges meeting a plate boundary. It lies entirely within the Antarctic Plate.
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
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.
Why isn't there very many volcanoes in the Himalayas?
Because it's one continental plate (Eurasian plate) colliding with another continental plate (Indo-Australian). As the continental rock is too light to sink, the edges are just pushed up. Volcanoes only occur on a plate boundary when an oceanic plate is involved.
At what type of boundary do hot-spot volcanoes form at?
Tectonic plate boundary
At what kind of plate boundary do most underwater volcanoes occur?
divergent boundary
Where do volcanoes errupt the most?
Where there is a tectonic plate boundary
What plate boundary forms arcs of volcanoes and deep-ocean trenches?
A convergent plate boundary where subduction occurs.
How is similar divergent plate boundary and transform plate boundary?
They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.
Where do volcanoes tend to exist?
On the edges of plate boundaries
