Do plate boundaries cause volcanoes?

Not per-Se, but plates pulling apart AND plates being overridden do cause magma upwellings.


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.


How do plates pull apart?

The process called plate tectonics is responsible for plates pulling apart. Over time, and with the combination of carbon dioxide, erosion, and force, plates are able to pull apart. This will eventually cause some plates to separate from one another.


What trenches cause?

The thing that causes oceanic trenches would be two ocean plates pulling apart. This would leave a space in between the plates that is the trench.


What do subducting plates cause?

volcanoes


Can volcanoes be cause by spreading tectonic plates?

no


What is the cause of most volcanoes found on land?

Most land volcanoes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When plates move apart or collide, it can create cracks in the Earth's crust, allowing magma to rise to the surface and form a volcano.


What primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?

Tectonic plates


What is the main cause of the volcanoes?

The tectonic plates rubbing together


Do colliding plates cause earthquakes?

Actually colliding plates cause earthquakes


What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?

What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.


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.
