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.

Where can a shield volcano be found?

It can be found along subduction-related volcanic arcs or all by themselves


Where is subduction volcanoes found?

On a destructive margin


Where is andesitic magma found?

Andesitic magma is commonly found in subduction zones where oceanic crust is being forced beneath continental crust. These environments are typically associated with volcanic arcs and stratovolcanoes. Examples of where andesitic magma is found include the Andes Mountains in South America and the Cascades in the western United States.


Are cinder cone volcanoes found on subduction zones?

yes


What kind of volcanoes are found along continental margins?

Volcanoes found along continental margins are typically stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep-sided appearance due to alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks. They are formed where tectonic plates converge and one plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction.


Are fissures are commonly found at the top of shield volcanoes?

NO


Where are composite volcanoes usually found-?

in the north pole during the winter months.


Are there shield volcanoes in the ring of fire?

Yes, there are shield volcanoes in the Ring of Fire. Shield volcanoes are common along tectonic plate boundaries, including those found in the Ring of Fire, such as in Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest. These volcanoes are characterized by their broad, gently sloping sides and can produce both effusive and explosive eruptions.


What types of volcanoes be found in the Hawaii islands?

An underwater volcano. The volcano that made Hawaii was a shield volcano.


Can shield volcanoes be found on other planets other than earth?

Yes, shield volcanoes can be found on other planets. For example, shield volcanoes have been identified on Mars, Venus, and even some of Jupiter's moons. These volcanoes typically have broad, low-profile shapes due to the flowing nature of their lava.
