As two plates spread apart from each other at the boundary, magma that was trapped below wells up between them. This magma can be released in the form of volcanoes or ooze out from rift valleys.

What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?

There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.


Can volcanoes form along spreading plate boundaries on land?

No, volcanoes do not typically form along spreading plate boundaries on land. Volcanic activity at spreading plate boundaries is more commonly associated with mid-ocean ridges where two tectonic plates are moving apart, allowing magma to rise to the surface and form new oceanic crust. Land-based volcanoes are more often found at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is subducting beneath another.


What boudaries produces volcanoes?

Convergent boundaries produce volcanoes. Volcanoes form when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge, causing the oceanic plate to subduct. The subduction causes a magma chamber to form which feeds the volcano when it erupts.

Where do volcanos happen?

Most volcanoes appear at the tectonic plate boundaries where friction between the plates and the mantle makes magma which then push through near the plate boundaries forming volcanoes.
