Why volcanic eruptions cant occur in Tibet?

Volcanic eruptions are less likely to occur in Tibet because it is located on a tectonic plate boundary that is characterized by a collision between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate, which results in the uplifting of the Tibetan Plateau. This uplift has thickened the crust, making it harder for magma to reach the surface and trigger volcanic activity. Additionally, the region lacks the typical geological conditions, such as subduction zones or active hotspots, that are associated with volcanic eruptions.
