Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away form each other?
Sometimes it causes earthquakes, as well as when earths plates move in opposite directions. But yes, volcanoes are also formed when these plates move out of place or away from each other, for example Hawaii. That is an example of plates sliding through the ocean which causes islands.
Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes true or false?
Convection current occurs due to the difference in densities
Are volcanoes found only on the edge of plates?
No. They are also found above things called 'plumes'. If you want to find out more Google it, there are plenty of sites where you can get any information you might need.
Why are volcanoes made constructive plate boundary?
they are not as violent because the plates are sliding away from each other and it is a much smoother process
How is a volcano born?
A volcano is formed when plates hit each other. One of the plates goes under the other. This is where the earth heats and melts the rock into magma and gases. This can happen as deep as 100 miles below the earth. Magma settles in pools or chambers near the surface. This is where eruptions take place. Volcanoes can also be formed when the plates go away from each other. The magma pushes up and lava forms. These types of volcanoes are found on the ocean floor.

What happen as earth's plates move away from each other?
When earths plates move away from each other ( separate ) Volcanoes form.
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary

Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
How do rift zones formed?
they are formed by two tectonic plates pulling away from each other
What occurs when two tectonics plates move away from each other?
mid-ocean ridges and volcanoes
Why don't all boundaries cause volcanoes?
Not all boundaries cause volcanoes because volcanic activity is primarily determined by the movement and interaction of tectonic plates. Volcanoes are mainly formed at divergent and convergent plate boundaries, where the plates either move apart or collide. Transform plate boundaries, where plates slide past each other, do not typically have volcanic activity. Additionally, the presence of a hotspot or a region with abnormally hot mantle material can also lead to volcanoes forming away from plate boundaries.
When two geologic plates are moving away from each other what happens?
When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
