Transform, Divergent, and Convergent
What else can I help you with?
Are mountains and volcanoes two features found most commonly at plate boundaries?
Yes. Generally that is where the tectonic plates are. Mountain and volcanoes are formed by tectonic plate movement, so yes they are 2 features that are most commonly found at plate boundaries. Fault Block Mountains(:
Where do most of the world's mountains form?
Most of the world's mountains form at tectonic plate boundaries, where the movement of the Earth's crust results in the uplifting of land. This can occur at convergent boundaries, where plates collide, or at divergent boundaries, where plates separate. Another common location for mountain formation is at hotspots, where magma from the mantle pushes through the crust.
At which plate boundaries do most volcanoes form?
The Convergent boundary forms a subduction zone. When the heavier plate reaches 100km the water is released from the submerged plate, and the mantle starts to melt. The mantle rises and a volcano forms on the lighter side plate. Unless it is a continent-continent convergent plate where mostly mountains are forms.
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.
What types of plate boundaries are There?
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Are most mountains form along plate boundaries?
Because of the thermal energy division within the circle of sun rays.

Where do most of Earth's volcanoes form?
they are most likely to form were the plates of the earth are most active ... like Hawaii.
Volcanoes most commonly form where?
volcanos mostly form on tectonic plate boundaries and hot stops
The mountains most commonly found at divergent plate boundaries are .?
Fault block mountians
Where do most valcanoes form?
the correct answer is: A: along plate boundaries.
Do most tsunamis probably form near plate boundaries or far from them?
Most tsunamis are tirggered by earthquaes and so usually occur at plate boundaries.
Where are mountains located relative to plate boundaries?
Mountains are commonly found near convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide, causing crustal uplift and the formation of mountain ranges. Additionally, mountains can also be found at divergent plate boundaries where plates move away from each other, creating rift valleys and volcanic mountains.
Do most valcanoes form near colliding plate boundaries?
yes
What is the most common way mountains form?
Mountains most commonly form through tectonic plate movements, specifically at convergent plate boundaries where two plates collide. This collision can result in the plates pushing against each other, causing uplift and the formation of mountain ranges. Additionally, volcanic activity can also contribute to the formation of mountains.
Where are most of the mountains found that have formed at divergent plate boundaries?
every body knows it's Guam
