What else can I help you with?
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away form each other?
Sometimes it causes earthquakes, as well as when earths plates move in opposite directions. But yes, volcanoes are also formed when these plates move out of place or away from each other, for example Hawaii. That is an example of plates sliding through the ocean which causes islands.
What plate boundary are volcanoes formed at?
Volcanoes can form at three places-1. Divergent boundaries2. Convergent boundaries (oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental)2. Above hot spots
Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes true or false?
Convection current occurs due to the difference in densities
Why are volcanoes made constructive plate boundary?
they are not as violent because the plates are sliding away from each other and it is a much smoother process
Are volcanoes found only on the edge of plates?
No. They are also found above things called 'plumes'. If you want to find out more Google it, there are plenty of sites where you can get any information you might need.

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.

Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!

What occurs when two tectonics plates move away from each other?
mid-ocean ridges and volcanoes
Why don't all boundaries cause volcanoes?
Not all boundaries cause volcanoes because volcanic activity is primarily determined by the movement and interaction of tectonic plates. Volcanoes are mainly formed at divergent and convergent plate boundaries, where the plates either move apart or collide. Transform plate boundaries, where plates slide past each other, do not typically have volcanic activity. Additionally, the presence of a hotspot or a region with abnormally hot mantle material can also lead to volcanoes forming away from plate boundaries.
Are tectonic plates boundaries the only locations where volcanoes form?
No. About 10% of volcanoes on Earth form at hot spots away from late boundaries. Additionally, the planets Venus and Mars and Jupiter's moon Io have volcanoes but do not appear to have tectonic plates.
When two geologic plates are moving away from each other what happens?
When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the Earth's plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.
