when the plates separate something needs to fill that void.
The thing that fills this void is magma/lava which in the end makes a volcano

Did plate tectonics on Mars form the volcanoes on Mars?
No. Mars does not have plate tectonics. The volcanoes on Mars are the result of hot spots.
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
What is the connection between volcanoes and plate tectonics?
Volcanoes form as a result of plate tectonics. When plates are pushing, pulling, and grinding they cause volcanoes. Magma that reaches the surface of the earth produces volcanoes where plates collide or spread apart. Sources: My science book and my great brain.
Is the movement of plates to form land masses is called plate tectonics?
Tectonic Plates* :DD
What are the effects of plate tectonics on the Philippine ' land features and mineral resources?
i think the earth gets effected from the moving plates wich effects the earth because when the two plates move it causes tiny vibrations They affect earth by colliding on one another that causes an earthquake or tsunami . some movements of plates form a volcanoes and when there is volcanoes there are mineral resources
What do plate tectonics have to do with earthquakes?
When tectonic plates come together or go under or over each other, forms a volcano. that what tectonic plates do form volcanoes!!! Thank you
Volcanoes are able to form in several different plate-tectonic settings?
The type of tectonics where volcanoes occur are continental rift volcanism, hot spot, and continental volcanic arc. The other tectonics are subduction zones and rift valleys on a continental crust.

Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
What explains the theory of plate tectonics?
the theory explains how Earth's plates form and move. it also explains how plates interact ,producing volcanoes,mountain range ,earthquakes,and featurs of the ocean floor

When plate tectonics cause cracks to form?
volcanoes can occur
Where do volcanoes mostly form?
Volcanoes usually form where tectonic plates meet.
What is the relationship between volcanoes and Earth's moving plates?
When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.
What does the theory of plate tectonics help explain?
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
