Because it is on the edge of the plates
Some examples of rift volcanoes include those found along the East African Rift Valley, such as Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya. These volcanoes are formed along the divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other, allowing magma to rise to the surface and create volcanic activity.
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form when magma reaches the surface, and then the valleys form from erosion.
A rift valley is a deep faulted structure found along a divergent boundary. It forms as tectonic plates move away from each other, creating a depression in the Earth’s crust. Rift valleys are often associated with volcanic activity and can eventually develop into new ocean basins.
The deep valley that lies along the east coast of Africa is called the East African Rift Valley. It is a tectonic plate boundary where the African Plate is splitting into two, causing the valley to form.
No, the Narmada Valley in India is not a rift valley. It is formed by a fault line that runs along the Narmada River, resulting in a valley with distinct geological features. Rift valleys are formed by the stretching and pulling apart of the Earth's crust, which is not the case for the Narmada Valley.
Igneous. Crustal material is added in rift valleys by the addition of magma.

Every time two of earth's tectonic plates meet you are apt to get volcanoes as a result of subduction. They also occur along plate spreading-rifts such as the Mid-Atlantic Rift and the Great Rift Valley in Africa.

Volcanic mountains are found along the Rift, including Mount Kenya, Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Eglon with others

Rift Valley:A valley that has developed along a rift, especially one bounded by normal faults in an area of lithospheric thinning.
