Volcanoes can form at three places-

1. Divergent boundaries

2. Convergent boundaries (oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental)

2. Above hot spots

What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?

Hotspot volcanoes form over a fixed hotspot in the mantle, resulting in a chain of volcanoes as the tectonic plate moves over it, like the Hawaiian Islands. Volcanoes at plate boundaries are formed by the interaction of tectonic plates, where one plate is forced under another (subduction) or plates move apart (divergence), creating volcanic activity along the boundary, like the Ring of Fire.


What boundary is it when a volcano formed?

Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.


What type of plate boundary is creating mt kilauea?

Kilauea is not associated with a plate boundary, it and the other Hawaiian volcanoes are the result of a hot spot.


What type of plate boundary is involved in volcano kilauea?

None. Kilauea and all the Hawaiian volcanoes were created by a hot spot rather than a plate boundary.


What kind of plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes?

The Transform plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes - Professer Humifiken


Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?

The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.


What do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?

Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.


What plate boundary made the Haleakala?

None. Haleakala, like all the other volcanoes of Hawaii, formed over a hot spot.


What type of boundary plates produce volcanoes?

convergence plate boundary, where tectonic plates move towards each other and collide, leading to subduction zones which are highly constructive regions of volcanoes. Volcanoes also form at divergent plate boundaries. A good example being the numerous Icelandic volcanoes which have formed over he Mid Atlantic Ridge.


What boundary formed when tectonics plate collide?

The boundary that is formed is called a Tranform Boundary


Where do volcanoes errupt the most?

Where there is a tectonic plate boundary


How is similar divergent plate boundary and transform plate boundary?

They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.
