Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.

What volcanoes can cause?
=Sliding plates that slide past each other==Sliding plates that slide past each other=
How can volcanoes errupt under water?
The tectonic plates shifting is what causes an underwater volcano to erupt. Plate shifting is also the cause of tsunamis and earthquakes.
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
Does kalimantan have volcanoes?
There are no volcanoes on Kalimantan as it is not situated where the tectonic plates meet.
When plates converge heat and presure can cause a build up of magma and create?
volcanoes
Do plates pulling apart cause volcanoes?
no but coliding plates create volcanoes
What kind of disaster that tectonic plates cause?
well that's easy volcanoes,earthquacke's and tsunami's
What do subducting plates cause?
volcanoes
Can volcanoes be cause by spreading tectonic plates?
no
What does sliding plates cause?
Sliding plates, also known as transform plate boundaries, cause horizontal sliding between two tectonic plates. This movement can result in earthquakes along the boundary as the plates grind past each other.
What primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Tectonic plates
What is the main cause of the volcanoes?
The tectonic plates rubbing together

Do plate boundaries cause volcanoes?
Not per-Se, but plates pulling apart AND plates being overridden do cause magma upwellings.
What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?
What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.
How can volcanoes errupt under water?
The tectonic plates shifting is what causes an underwater volcano to erupt. Plate shifting is also the cause of tsunamis and earthquakes.
How do the moving plates cause constant changes to the surface of your planet?
they build mountains and volcanoes, and cause earthquakes.
