Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?

No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.


Where do volcanoes occur around divergent plate boundaries?

Volcanoes at divergent plate boundaries often occur along mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are moving apart. As the plates separate, magma rises to the surface, creating underwater volcanic activity. These volcanic eruptions contribute to the formation of new oceanic crust.


What place in the world do volcanoes occur?

Volcanoes occur in areas where tectonic plates meet, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire which includes countries like Indonesia, Japan, and the west coast of the Americas. They can also be found along mid-ocean ridges where new crust is being formed.


Where do seafloor hot springs occur?

Along the mid oceanic ridges.


Where do earthquakes volcanoes and mountains occur along?

Along the tectonic plate boundaries.


Do volcanoes occur randomly over Earth's surface?

Volcanoes do not occur randomly over Earth's surface. They occur along the located mark of plate boundaries.


Where do earthquakes and volcanoes commonly occur?

Along fault lines


Do volcanoes form along mid ocean ridges where two plates move together?

Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge are called volcanic islands. These volcanoes occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.


Volcanoes usually occur along what plate boundaries?

transform and divergent


Where might you expect to find volcanoes?

Volcanoes are typically found at tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean, where plates collide or separate. They can also occur in hot spots like Hawaii. Submarine volcanoes can be found along mid-ocean ridges where underwater tectonic plates spread apart.


Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge occur a diverging plate boundary?

Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge are called volcanic islands. These volcanoes occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.


How the location of volcanoes is related to the theory of plate tectonics?

Volcanoes usually occur along the line where two plates meet.
