Which type of plate boundary is associated with volcanoes on land?

Volcanoes on continents can develop at path convergent and divergent boundaries. They can occur where an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate, producing a volcanic arc such as in the Cascade Range. Volcanoes can also occur in areas of rifting, such as Africa's Great Rift Valley, a developing divergent boundary. Where two oceanic plates converge volcanoes can develop underwater and eventually form volcanic islands. Volcanoes can also develop away from a plate boundary over a hot spot.


Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?

The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.


What type of plate boundary to volcanoes not occur?

Volcanoes typically do not occur at transform plate boundaries where two plates slide past each other horizontally. These boundaries are characterized by intense tectonic forces that do not provide the conditions necessary for magma to rise to the surface and form volcanoes.


Which part happens at a convergent plate boundary?

Mountains form, volcanoes can form/erupt, earthquakes can occur. That's all I know sorry.


What type of plate boundary triggers the formation of active volcanoes as magma rises beneath the surface?

Oceanic-to-Oceanic plate boundary triggers the formation of active volcanoes as magma rises beneath the surface.Transform plate boundaries trigger the formation of active volcanoes as magma rises beneath the surface.

Is a destructive plate boundary hazardous?

Very much so. This is where volcanoes, earthquakes and even tsunamis can occur.

What do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?

Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.


Where do volcanoes errupt the most?

Where there is a tectonic plate boundary


How is similar divergent plate boundary and transform plate boundary?

They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.


What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?

Hotspot volcanoes form over a fixed hotspot in the mantle, resulting in a chain of volcanoes as the tectonic plate moves over it, like the Hawaiian Islands. Volcanoes at plate boundaries are formed by the interaction of tectonic plates, where one plate is forced under another (subduction) or plates move apart (divergence), creating volcanic activity along the boundary, like the Ring of Fire.
