What type of volcanic eruptions seems to occur most often where plates are crunching together?

Stratovolcanoes are usually found along convergent plate boundaries where an ocean plate is pushed under another ocean plate or a continental plate (subduction zone).
If you are referring to convergent boundaries in which neither plate is subducted but both are pushed up to form mountains, then my answer would have to be that it is very rare for a volcano to form at this type of boundary.

subduction boundary eruption
What Folds in the earth's crust form mostly?
Well, mountains are formed mostly with folding and sometimes with volcanic eruptions. MOUNT EVERST was formed by the folding of the ocean. Folding is when the earth's crustal plates start to push together to form a mountain.

Where do most volcanic eruptions occur?
Volcanoes are located throughout most of the world. The most active volcanoes are found on the so-called "ring of fire" in Pacific Ocean. Indonesia has several volcanoes including Krakatoa. Hawaii's Kilauea produces the most lava of all active volcanoes in the world. North America has Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier in Washington, USA. Mexico has several including Parícutin and Nevado de Toluca. Europe has Mt. Etna. Generally, volcanoes are located near tectonic plates that are converging or diverging.
What type of plate boundary is found a volcanic mountain range?
convergent (plates that come together)
Why are earthquake and volcanoes so frequent in japan?
Japan lies in the earthquake zone where four plates come together. As the plates push against each other, they cause violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Are volcanic eruptions caused by the separation of the tectonic plates?
yes and no. Volacanic eruptions '''can''' be caused by the '''seperation of plates''' but they can also be caused by the '''plates conliding with each other'''. It can push the magma upward
Why is there so many volcanic eruptions along the pacific ocean?
Titanic plates
Which of the following can lead to areas of frequent volcanic eruptions?
The movement of tectonic plates
How can new Hawaiian islands form?
From Volcanic Eruptions and when tectnotic plates move.

Where do volcanic eruptions often happen?
Where ever there is a vertical vent fault in the tectonic plates.
Why volcanic eruptions?
The earth's plates shift and magma is forced up through the earth's surface.
Why volcanic eruptions exist?
The earth's plates shift and magma is forced up through the earth's surface.

Is volcanic eruption a natural change?
Yes it is. Volcanic eruptions are the product of certain types of the earths tectonic plate interaction. The tectonic plates make up the earth.
