What type of plate boundaries do stratovolcanoes occur?
Virginialee904
At constructive plate margins (where two plate slide away from each other) or a destructive plate boundary (where two plates slide together), volcanoes do not occur at a conservative plate margin.
Hope this helps

∙ 12y agoThey do not necessarily occur on plate boundaries at all. The Galapagos and Hawaiian volcanoes, for instance, occur in the middle of the Pacific as the result of magma hot spots reaching up into the crust from the mantle.
Some shield volcanoes do occur at ridges, where upwelling magma pushes a tectonic plate from its center out, such as Skjaldbreiður in Iceland.

On which type of plate boundary do island arcs occur?
convergent boundaries
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
What type of plate boundary dose mount fuji occur at or is it hot spot volcano?
convergent plate boundary
At which type(s) of plate boundary do earth earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes happen when a rock face along the fault line gives way or grinds against the other side. These are not boundaries such as convergent or divergen boundaries but are generally known as transform faults or just faults.
Which type of boundary do most earthquakes occur why?
Plate boundaries around Japan are convergent boundaries ie two plates are sliding towards each other. Japan has been formed as a result of the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the continental Amurian Plate and Okinawa Plate to the south, and subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Okhotsk Plate to the north.
What type of plate boundary does compression occur?
Converging Plate Boundaries
What type of volcanic eruptions seems to occur most often where plates are crunching together?
Stratovolcanoes are usually found along convergent plate boundaries where an ocean plate is pushed under another ocean plate or a continental plate (subduction zone). If you are referring to convergent boundaries in which neither plate is subducted but both are pushed up to form mountains, then my answer would have to be that it is very rare for a volcano to form at this type of boundary.
What type of plate boundarries found in andesitic valcano?

Why do earthquakes occur on all plate boudaries but volcano don't?
it is because of the type of plate boundaries that they are on
What type of plate boundary do most earthquakes occur near to or along?
they occur at transform boundaries
At which type of plate boundary does rift-volcanism occur?
Volcanoes can be formed on both convergent and divergent boundaries.
Three type of plate boundaries where volcanic eruptions can occur?
Convergent, divergent, and, although not a plate boundary, they also occur from hotspots.
At what type of plate boundary do the strongest earthquakes occur?
Convergent boundaries because they build up the most pressure.
The Ring of Fire is located along what type of plate boundaries?
Convergent plate boundaries.
