plate boundaries can produce volcanoes

No. Mauna loa is on a hot spot. Transform boundaries do not produce volcanoes.
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.

Transform boundaries produce the largest earthquakes.

Conversion boundaries
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary
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.
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
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.
