Close to a tectonic plate subduction zone, a tectonic spreading zone or a localised 'hot spot'.

What plate boundary is a volcano most likely to form at?

A volcano is most likely to form at a convergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates collide, forcing one plate to subduct beneath the other. The subducted plate melts and rises to the surface, forming a volcano.


Where are you most likely to see a volcano erupting?

Near a volcano


What type of volcano is most likely to form fluid lava?

A shield volcano is most likely to form fluid lava because it is characterized by gentle sloping sides and eruptions of low-viscosity magma. This type of volcano typically produces basaltic lava that flows easily and spreads over large distances.


What type of volcano is most likely to form when magma is high in silica?

Lava high in silica (granitic lava) tends to be thick and viscous, so the volcano is likely to be composite rather than shield.


What volcano is the best super volcano?

The best super volcano is most likely the "hidden" volcano in Yellowstone park.


Suppose a volcano that is about to erupt contains mafic magma. The mafic magma has a very low silica content. what types of igneous rocks will the volcano most likely form?

basalt


Which category of volcano is most likely to erupt in the near future?

An active volcano


What is a volcano most likely made of?

basalt


A composite volcano is most likely to form where?

A composite volcano is most likely to form at subduction zones where an oceanic plate is being subducted beneath a continental plate. The interaction between the two plates causes magma to rise, leading to the formation of a composite volcano due to the explosive eruptions caused by the high silica content in the magma.


What type of volcano most likely to form over oceanic hot spot?

Shield volcanoes are most likely to form over oceanic hot spots. These volcanoes have gentle slopes created by the flowing lava with low viscosity that forms thin layers over a wide area. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is an example of a shield volcano that formed over an oceanic hot spot.


What physical feature is the most likely to erupt?

Where is a volcano most likely to erupt in the US?
