Volcanoes can form at three places-

1. Divergent boundaries

2. Convergent boundaries (oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental)

2. Above hot spots

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.


What do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?

Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.


How are volcanoes related to plate boundaries?

Almost all volcanoes are located along plate boundaries. The exceptions are volcanoes like Kilauea, in Hawaii. Kilauea is not located near a plate boundary. Instead, it is formed by a mantle plume. Again, this type of volcano is much, much rarer than those that form at plate boundaries.


What plate boundary made the Haleakala?
