∙ 13y agowell actually they are only at convergent plate boundaries. They form at convergent boundaries because when the two lithospheric plates collide they are too buoyant to sucked into a trench so they collide into each other forming mountains.

∙ 9y agoMost mountains form near plate boundaries, because when there is an earthquake or something like that, plates smash together and they go up to form mountains. Some mountains that are already here are still doing this, for example, Everest is still getting higher! This is true. I hope I answered your question!

∙ 14y agoWhy do most mountains form along plate boundaries?
A CONVERGING BOUNDARY IS WHEN TWO PLATES COLLIDE . MOUNTAINS CAN FORM WHEN ONE PLATE FOLDS,TILTS,AND LIFTS UP. bet that helped

∙ 11y agoBecause at plate boundaries, one plate is usually forced underneath the other and it melts, forming magma pockets that erupt and form volcanoes.

∙ 13y agobecause when the two tectonic plate's collide they form mountains in this case volcanoes

Are mountains and volcanoes two features found most commonly at plate boundaries?
Yes. Generally that is where the tectonic plates are. Mountain and volcanoes are formed by tectonic plate movement, so yes they are 2 features that are most commonly found at plate boundaries. Fault Block Mountains(:
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.
At which plate boundaries do most volcanoes form?
Most volcanoes form at a convergent plate boundary. Simply put when a oceanic plate and a continental plate hit each other face on the subduction of the oceanic plate causes the magma to rise and the converging of the plates makes a mountain and the magma rises through the top creating a volcano.
What type of plate boundary is most directly associated with mountain building?
Convergent plate boundaries.
Where does most geologic activity occur?
Most geological activity occurs where the earth's tectonic plates come together. This causes volcanoes and mountains to form while it also causes earthquakes.
When are mountains most likely to form at a convergent boundary?
When two continental plates collide or a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate.
Are most mountains form along plate boundaries?
Because of the thermal energy division within the circle of sun rays.
Where do most of Earth's volcanoes form?
they are most likely to form were the plates of the earth are most active ... like Hawaii.
Volcanoes most commonly form where?
volcanos mostly form on tectonic plate boundaries and hot stops
The mountains most commonly found at divergent plate boundaries are .?
Fault block mountians

Do most tsunamis probably form near plate boundaries or far from them?
Most tsunamis are tirggered by earthquaes and so usually occur at plate boundaries.
Where do most valcanoes form?
the correct answer is: A: along plate boundaries.
Do most valcanoes form near colliding plate boundaries?
yes
Where are most of the mountains found that have formed at divergent plate boundaries?
every body knows it's Guam
Where are mountains located relative to plate boundaries?
Mountains are commonly found near convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide, causing crustal uplift and the formation of mountain ranges. Additionally, mountains can also be found at divergent plate boundaries where plates move away from each other, creating rift valleys and volcanic mountains.
