What else can I help you with?
Volcanism is common at convergent and divergent boundaries of?
tectonic plates, where magma from the mantle rises to the surface. At convergent boundaries, one plate sinks beneath the other, creating intense heat and pressure that can lead to volcanic activity. At divergent boundaries, plates move apart, allowing magma to well up and form new crust.
Is forming underwater mountains and volcanoes convergent divergent or transform?
Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.
Is Mount Vesuvius near a hot spot divergent or convergent plate boundary?
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What plate boundary are volcanoes formed at?
Volcanoes can form at three places-1. Divergent boundaries2. Convergent boundaries (oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental)2. Above hot spots
Volcanoes form on what plate?
Volcanoes form on tectonic plates at plate boundaries where magma from the Earth's mantle can rise to the surface. This typically occurs at divergent or convergent plate boundaries where there is movement and interaction between the plates, leading to volcanic activity.

Why do you find volcanoes at convergent and divergent boundaries but not at transform boundaries?
Convergent and divergent boundaries melt rock in the upper mantle while transform boundaries do not. Convergent boundaries that involve at least one oceanic plate form subduction zones, where an oceanic plate plunges into the mantle. Volatiles carried into the mantle lower the melting point of the rock there, allowing magma to form.At divergent boundaries the crust becomes thinner. This reduces pressure on the upper mantle, thus lowering melting points and generating magma.Transform boundaries have no such means of producing magma.
What causes magma to form at convergent boundaries?
the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.
Is forming underwater mountains and volcanoes convergent divergent or transform?
Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.
Is Mount Vesuvius near a hot spot divergent or convergent plate boundary?
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What are ways mountains can form along plate boundaries?
Transform, Divergent, and Convergent

What is the similarities between convergent divergent and transform boundaries?
they both form volcanoes and earthquakes
What are three ways mountains form along plate boundaries?
Transform, Divergent, and Convergent
What are three ways mountains can form along plate boundaries?
Transform, Divergent, and Convergent
Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
