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.
