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.
Who was volcanoes discovered by?
Volcanoes were not discovered by one specific person. They have been known to humanity for thousands of years, with ancient civilizations observing and documenting volcanic activity. The study of volcanoes as a scientific discipline began to develop in the 18th century.
Why do certain volcanoes develop in the middle of tectonic plates instead of between them near the boundaries?
Certain volcanoes develop in the middle of tectonic plates due to hotspots, which are areas where plumes of hot mantle material rise to the surface. These hotspots can create volcanic activity independent of tectonic plate boundaries. As a tectonic plate moves over a stationary hotspot, it can result in a chain of volcanoes, such as the Hawaiian Islands. This process occurs because the heat and pressure from the mantle can melt rock, forming magma that rises to create volcanoes.
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
Are there any kind of volcanos?
There are three different types of volcanoes. The types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, dome volcanoes, and also composite volcanoes.
Where are volcanoes most likely to develop?
On tectonic plates.
How did Cays develop?
Cays are formed by volcanoes that existed years ago

Why do volcanoes erupt on islands?
It is not so much that volcanoes tend to occur on islands as much as many islands are formed by volcanoes. Subduction zones and hot spots often cause volcanoes to develop on the sea floor. Erupted material then piles up to form islands.
Is a valcano a living thing?
Volcanoes are nonliving things because they don't reproduce or grow and develop.
Are volcanoes non living or living?
A volcano is nonliving. Although they do grow, they do not develop, or breathe, or reproduce, or eat.

What are three types volcanoes?
Three types of volcanoes are Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes.
Do volcanoes need lava to be known as actual volcanoes?
No, volcanoes do not need lava to be volcanoes.
What are the two type of volcanoes?
there are three and they are Active Volcanoes, Dormant Volcanoes, and Extinct Volcanoes.
What is the US doing to prevent natural hazards?
I think there is a move afoot to develop giant multimillion dollar corks. designed to plug up all of the worlds volcanoes.
