Volcanic activity is typically more violent at convergent boundaries, where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate or another oceanic plate. This subduction leads to the melting of the descending plate and the formation of magma, which can result in explosive volcanic eruptions. The buildup of pressure from gas-rich magma contributes to the intensity of these eruptions, making them more violent compared to volcanic activity at other boundary types, such as divergent or transform boundaries.
The most violent volcanic eruptions are found in destructive/convergent plate boundaries. 80% of the world's active volcanoes are found occur along destructive boundaries. Acid-lava and composite volcanoes also cause the most violent eruptions as the lava is viscous and the opening of the volcano is sometimes blocked by hardened lava, causing a huge massive explosion during the eruption.
Only the most violent volcanic eruptions feature a pyroclastic flow.
Earthquake. It is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground caused by movements within the Earth's crust, either due to volcanic activity or tectonic plate motions.
When a plate boundary collides with a new plate boundary, it can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. The collision can cause one plate to be forced beneath the other in a process called subduction or result in the uplifting of crustal rocks to form high mountain ranges. Ultimately, the collision changes the geological landscape and can impact the surrounding region.
No, Venus has some of the most intense volcanic activity in our solar system. Volcanoes on Venus are known to erupt with violent explosions and release large quantities of lava and gases into the atmosphere. These eruptions are often associated with tectonic activity and can result in the formation of vast volcanic plains on the planet's surface.

The most violent volcanic activity is associated with stratovolcanoes, which are characterized by their steep-sided cones and explosive eruptions. These eruptions can release large volumes of ash, gas, and lava at high speeds, posing a significant hazard to surrounding areas. Examples of stratovolcanoes known for violent eruptions include Mount St. Helens in the United States and Mount Vesuvius in Italy.

A volcanic cone or a volcanic mountain can be built up from numerous violent volcanic eruptions. These eruptions can result in layers of lava, ash, and volcanic rocks accumulating over time to form a distinctive cone-shaped landform.
