Which plate boundary and movement commonly create volcanoes that can result in the development of habitable islands Explain how islands can be created by plate tectonics?
Constructive plate boundaries 1) Convection currents in the mantle move the plates 2) 2 plates of oceanic crust diverge/pull apart e.g. North American and Eurasian plates. 3) The rising magma forces the ends of the plate to push up and buckle. This creates tensional cracks on the underside of the plates. 4) Magma is squeezed into the gap between the two plates and is cooled by the ocean to form new, solidified rock/basalt. 5) Rising magma forces its way through the tensional cracks and forms sub-marine shield volcanoes on the ocean floor. 6) With repeated eruptions over millions of years they can grow until they break the surface of the ocean and become volcanic islands e.g. Iceland.
Are fissures are commonly found at the top of shield volcanoes?
NO
What is molten before it erupts?
It is molten magma that erupts from volcanoes - commonly known as lava.
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanoes?
Transform plate boundaries are typically not associated with volcanic activity. Instead, they are characterized by horizontal movement of tectonic plates in opposite directions, causing earthquakes along strike-slip faults like the San Andreas Fault in California. Volcanic activity is more commonly found at divergent and convergent plate boundaries where magma can rise to the surface.
Why volcanoes are commonly found of the edges of earths moving plate?
This is where the weaknesses in the earths crust lie and it is the easiest place for lava to spew out of these weaker areas, therefore forming volcanoes
What kind of plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes?
The Transform plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes - Professer Humifiken
Are mountains and volcanoes two features found most commonly at plate boundaries?
Yes. Generally that is where the tectonic plates are. Mountain and volcanoes are formed by tectonic plate movement, so yes they are 2 features that are most commonly found at plate boundaries. Fault Block Mountains(:

NO
Where are volcanoes most commonly found around Australia?
west
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes commonly occur?
Along fault lines
What is a lagoon boundary called?
A lagoon boundary is commonly referred to as a shoreline or edge where the lagoon meets the land.
Where are the volcanoes and the earthquakes commonly situated?
Around the edges of tectonic plates.
What are two features found most commonly at plat boundaries?
Volcanoes and Mountains.
Where do volcanoes commonly erupt?
In areas of tectonic activity and above mantle plumes.
