Continental and Oceanic plates.
What else can I help you with?
What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
What tectonic plate is primarily comprised of seafloor crust?
Divergent plate boundaries are often found on the ocean floorâ??s crust. These are the type of tectonic plates that produce volcanoes and rifts.
What high mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at which type of plate boundary?
High mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at convergent continental plate boundaries. These vary greatly from divergent boundaries which cause volcanoes to form.
How are volcanoes related to plate boundaries?
Almost all volcanoes are located along plate boundaries. The exceptions are volcanoes like Kilauea, in Hawaii. Kilauea is not located near a plate boundary. Instead, it is formed by a mantle plume. Again, this type of volcano is much, much rarer than those that form at plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary to volcanoes not occur?
Volcanoes typically do not occur at transform plate boundaries where two plates slide past each other horizontally. These boundaries are characterized by intense tectonic forces that do not provide the conditions necessary for magma to rise to the surface and form volcanoes.
What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
What type of fault is a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.

What is a fault of a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?
What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.
What high mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at which type of plate boundary?
High mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at convergent continental plate boundaries. These vary greatly from divergent boundaries which cause volcanoes to form.

Volcanoes typically do not occur at transform plate boundaries where two plates slide past each other horizontally. These boundaries are characterized by intense tectonic forces that do not provide the conditions necessary for magma to rise to the surface and form volcanoes.
What type of boundary plates produce volcanoes?
convergence plate boundary, where tectonic plates move towards each other and collide, leading to subduction zones which are highly constructive regions of volcanoes. Volcanoes also form at divergent plate boundaries. A good example being the numerous Icelandic volcanoes which have formed over he Mid Atlantic Ridge.
Which type of plate boundary does not produce volcanoes?
Transform boundaries do not typically produce volcanoes. Instead, they are characterized by horizontal movement where tectonic plates slide past each other, causing earthquakes. This movement does not result in the formation of magma or volcanic activity.
What type of plate boundary is close to volcanos?
usually convergent plate boundaries are closest to volcanoes because they subduct under each other
Are cinder cone volcanoes located in the middle of a tectonic plate or at the boundary?
Most volcanoes of any type, including cinder cones, are found at plate boundaries, but some are associated with hot spots.
