Volcanoes at spreading plate boundaries such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are non-explosive in nature. This is due to the fact that they are fed by very hot Basalt lava, which is very fluid in nature. This fluid quality means that they do not readily trap dissolved gasses to explosive levels, which is what makes certain types of volcanoes explosive in nature. The gasses are readily able to and easily escape from the magma once the pressure seal is broken and do not cause the popped champagne cork effect.
The volcanoes that erupt both ways are located on or near boundaries between oceanic and continental crust over subduction zones.
Volcanic eruptions occur only in certain places and do not occur randomly. ... Volcanoes occur most frequently at plate boundaries
Volcanoes often erupt at boundaries because this is where tectonic plates interact, causing intense heat and pressure to build up beneath the Earth's surface. This leads to the melting of rock and the formation of magma, which can eventually erupt as lava and volcanic ash through the volcano's vent.
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
No, earthquakes and volcanoes are different geological events. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, while volcanoes erupt due to magma or gas buildup beneath the Earth's crust. While both can cause destruction, earthquakes do not explode like volcanoes.

Earthquakes, volcanoes to erupt, mountains, etc...
because if people are not informed about volcanoes they could erupt and explode and kill us all and we wouldnt have any protocol to escape it.

Generally shield volcanoes do not explode. They erupt in a non-explosive fashion, fountaining or oozing lava.
A synonym of erupt is "explode".
No. Volcanoes erupt.
About 60 volcanoes erupt each year.
An unlimited amount of volcanoes can erupt at once
