Volcanoes are related to the interaction of tectonic plates because at the site of a volcano, there is a convergent boundary. This is when two tectonic plates come together to create a mountain. Sometimes, the magma underneath the crust pushes upwards, which melts more and more rock from the tectonic plates. This allows volcanoes to begin to form. After there is a fair amount of the inner part of the crust melted away, convection of the magma helps the magma to rise, and thus an eruption happening, and the volcano getting bigger over time.

At breaks in the earths crust; like the tectonic plates; an earthquake can trigger a volcano, and depending on what kind of volcano it is, it can form a mountain.
