90% of volcanic activity on earth occurs at either convergent or divergent plate boundaries. The remaining 10% occurs at hot spots, which are not associated with plate boundaries.

What plate boundary is not associated with volcanic eruptions?
Transform boundaries do not produce volcanic activity.
How is the creation of a deep-sea trench similar to the stimulation of volcanic activity?
They both occur along plate boundaries.
What plate boundaries are associated with Sarychev Peak volcano?
Convergent
What is the difference between the volcanic activity that occurs at a hot spot and the volcanic activity at a subduction boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?
The hot spot volcanic activity is not dependent on the subduction and melting of oceanic crust. The hot spot simply appears to be a non-moving place in the Earth's mantle where heat rises from the interior.
What is an area of volcanic activity far from a tectonic plate boundary?
mantle plume
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanic eruptions?
Transform boundaries do not produce volcanic activity.
What mountains are associated with divergent plate boundaries?
Volcanic Mountains are associated with divergent plates.
What type of plate boundary have abundant non explosive volcanic activity?
Divergent boundaries. :)
How do observations of earthquakes and volcanic activity support theory of plate tectonics?
Observations of earthquakes and volcanic activity support the theory of plate tectonics because they both occur on boundaries. Boundaries are where plates meet and either converge, diverge or transform.
Volcanic island arc are associated with what type of plate boundaries?
convergent oceanic oceanic
What boundary is hot spot volcano?
Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with a plate boundaries. Hot spots can drive volcanic activity all by themselves.
What plate boundary are volcanic islands?
Volcanic islands typically form near subduction zone, but they can also form at hot spots, which are not associated with plate boundaries.
How is the creation of deep sea trenches similar to the stimulation of volcanic activity?
They both occur along plate boundaries.
How is the creation of a deep-sea trench similar to the stimulation of volcanic activity?
They both occur along plate boundaries.
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are .?
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are oceanic ridges.
What type of tectonic plate boundary is a strato-volcano on?
Most calderas are associated with subduction zones, a kind of convergent plate boundary. However, a few calderas, such as the ones at Yellowstone, are associated with hot spots rather than plate boundaries.
What type of boundary is the pacific ring of fire?
The Pacific Ring of Fire consists of numerous plate boundaries. Most of the volcanic activity is along convergent boundaries.
