Shield volcanoes are found along divergent plate boundaries where two plates pull apart and lava flows into the gap to form a volcano.
Shield volcanoes are also formed at hot spots. A hot spot is an area of persistent volcanic activity. Hot spots originate at unusually hot areas of the mantle-core boundary. Overlying mantle melts forming plumes of magma that rise and penetrate the crust forming volcanoes. Hawaii, Iceland, and Yellowstone are examples of hot spots. The trace of a hot spot appears as a chain, such as an island chain. As the overlying plate moves one volcano off the hot spot, another is formed. The Hawaiian Island Chain is an example.

What plate boundary is Falcon volcano on?
The Falcon Volcano on the Tonga Islands are in the Indo-Australian Plate- a convergent boundary.
What type of plate boundary is creating the Eldfell volcano?
convergent plate boundary
What plate boundary is the villarrica volcano on?
The cotopaxi volcano sits on the pacific plate.
Is the El chichon volcano located along colliding plate boundaries?
Yes, the El Chichon volcano is located along the boundary between the North American Plate and the Cocos Plate in southern Mexico. This boundary is a convergent plate boundary where the Cocos Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate, leading to magma generation and volcanic activity.
What plate boundary is turrialba volcano on?
The Turrialba Volcano is located on a convergent plate boundary where the Cocos Plate is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate. This subduction process is responsible for the volcanic activity in the region.
Why does a constructive plate boundary produce a shield shape and a destructive plate boundary produce a cone shape?
Its to do with the viscosity of the lava, the thicker (more viscous) the lava the slower and less far it will travel making a shield volcano. This happens on a constructive plate boundary. on a destructive plate boundary the lava is less viscous and runs further making a conical shaped volcano
