What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What kind of volcanoes are found along continental margins?
andesitic
Where are composite volcanoes usually found-?
in the north pole during the winter months.
Where are volcanoes oftern found?
Volcanoes are usually found at continental plate boundaries (where two continental plates meet). The most common place on Earth for volcanoes is the 'Pacific Ring of Fire'. If you look at a map, the Pacific Ring of Fire is around the whole of the pacific ocean and is in contact with numerous countries in Asia, Oceania and also Africa. Earthquakes are also common in these areas.
Where is an area where volcanoes are usually not found?
London,Nigeria,Manchester and Mascow

andesitic
What boundary is a syncline in?
Syncline folds are found in Convergent boundaries. (Oceanic - Oceanic, Continental-Continental, Oceanic-Continental)
Where is andesitic magma found?
Andesite can be found around volcanoes with magma of intermediate composition, usually near subduction zones.
Does Singapore have volcanoes?
No. Singapore is located inside the plate and not near, and since volcanoes are usually found on the sides of the plate, there isn't. EDIT by Aeii (for better vocab and such) Singapore isn't near a plate boundary, where all the magma and crap come out of, so yeah, there's no volcanoes, cos' you need the "crap" to make volcanoes.^_^

What types of tectonic plate boundaries are volcanoes generally found?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
Where would active volcanoes be found if a deep ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent?
When an overriding plate is continental, a marginal trench forms where the topographic depression seems to follow the outline of the continental margin. It is here where explosive volcanoes can be found.
What plate boundary is in the Himalayan mountains?
The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.
If a deep-ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent active volcanoes would likely be found .?

What features is found along the divergent boundary?
Oceanic: Mid-ocean ridge Continental: Rift valley
