Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries
What is occurrences?
Occurrences are happenings or events that happen. An occurrence can be defined as an incident or an event that happens in a person's life or along a time line in a history.
How volcanoes form in the central valley of a divergent boundary?
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form where the magma reaches the surface. And from there it forms valleys.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
Is kilauea located on a plate boundary?

What kind of plate boundary is Pingvellir National Park located at?

Where in the us are most volcanoes located?
Most of the volcanoes in the United States are locate on the west cost. They run along the boundary of the pacific and north American plates.
Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge occur a diverging plate boundary?
Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge are called volcanic islands. These volcanoes occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.
Explain how volcanoes form in the central rift valley of a divergent boundary?
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form when magma reaches the surface, and then the valleys form from erosion.
Why aren't there volcanoes in haiti?
Haiti is located along a transform plate boundary. Such boundaries do not have any mechanism for producing magma.
What geologic formations would probably be found along the boundary where two tectonic plates meet?
Faultlines, Volcanoes, or Sinkholes
Does Singapore have volcanoes?
No. Singapore is located inside the plate and not near, and since volcanoes are usually found on the sides of the plate, there isn't. EDIT by Aeii (for better vocab and such) Singapore isn't near a plate boundary, where all the magma and crap come out of, so yeah, there's no volcanoes, cos' you need the "crap" to make volcanoes.^_^
