Volcanoes typically occur at two different types of plate boundaries. These two plate boundaries are: the diverging plate boundary where plates separate, and the converging plate boundaries where one plate is beneath another one at subduction zones.

What boudaries produces volcanoes?

Convergent boundaries produce volcanoes. Volcanoes form when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge, causing the oceanic plate to subduct. The subduction causes a magma chamber to form which feeds the volcano when it erupts.


Where are the vast majority of volcanoes found?

The vast majority of volcanoes are found along tectonic plate boundaries, particularly at divergent and convergent boundaries. Many are located in the "Ring of Fire," a horseshoe-shaped zone in the Pacific Ocean that is home to about 75% of the world's active volcanoes. Additionally, some volcanoes can form over hotspots, where magma rises to the surface independently of plate boundaries.

What happens along a plate boundary that leads to high occurrences of volcanoes?

Subduction happens along plate boundaries which pushes up magma which then creates volcanoes.
