A divergent boundary between two oceanic crusts can cause mid-ocean ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

A divergent boundary between two continental crusts can cause rift valleys like the East African Rift Valley.

Many volcanoes can be formed from the outflow of magma onto Earth's surface, and even volcanic islands such as Iceland can be formed.

yes they can because they run into each other


What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?

What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.


What kind of plates cause volcanoes?

Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.

what structures are created at each type of convergent boundaries?

Convergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates hit each other. This can cause earthquakes, but can also create mountains.
