The volcanism is derived from the melting and expansion of material from the asthenosphere. The divergent boundary represents a line of very thin, hot crustal rock which easily allows the invasion of material which then becomes new crust on both sides of the boundary.
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.
no yes and symp
No, a stratovolcano is not a divergent volcano. Stratovolcanoes are typically found at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is being subducted beneath another, leading to the formation of explosive volcanoes. Divergent volcanoes, on the other hand, are associated with divergent plate boundaries where plates move away from each other, creating rift zones and shield volcanoes.
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.

No, a stratovolcano is not a divergent volcano. Stratovolcanoes are typically found at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is being subducted beneath another, leading to the formation of explosive volcanoes. Divergent volcanoes, on the other hand, are associated with divergent plate boundaries where plates move away from each other, creating rift zones and shield volcanoes.
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
Volcanoes primarily form at tectonic plate boundaries, particularly at divergent and convergent boundaries. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise and create new crust, often seen in mid-ocean ridges. At convergent boundaries, one plate subducts beneath another, leading to melting and volcanic activity. Therefore, while volcanoes can form at various plate boundaries, they do not always form on a single type of plate.
