Which type of volcano formation would typically be found under a convergent boundary?
A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is typically found under a convergent boundary. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep sides and explosive eruptions due to the interaction of the subducted oceanic plate and the overlying continental plate.
Where are composite volcanoes usually found-?
in the north pole during the winter months.
What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What percentage of volcanoes appear on continental crust?
Approximately 80% of volcanoes are located on continental crust, with the remaining 20% found on oceanic crust. This distribution is due to the presence of subduction zones and hotspots primarily located on continental plates.
What kind of volcanoes are found along continental margins?
Volcanoes found along continental margins are typically stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep-sided appearance due to alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks. They are formed where tectonic plates converge and one plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction.

Does Singapore have volcanoes?
No. Singapore is located inside the plate and not near, and since volcanoes are usually found on the sides of the plate, there isn't. EDIT by Aeii (for better vocab and such) Singapore isn't near a plate boundary, where all the magma and crap come out of, so yeah, there's no volcanoes, cos' you need the "crap" to make volcanoes.^_^

What types of tectonic plate boundaries are volcanoes generally found?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
Where would active volcanoes be found if a deep ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent?
When an overriding plate is continental, a marginal trench forms where the topographic depression seems to follow the outline of the continental margin. It is here where explosive volcanoes can be found.

They are formed where tectonic plates converge and one plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction.
How does volcanoes found on the earth surface?
Usually by simple observation.
What geologic formations would probably be found along the boundary where two tectonic plates meet?
Faultlines, Volcanoes, or Sinkholes
Where is andesitic magma found?
Andesitic magma is commonly found in subduction zones where oceanic crust is being forced beneath continental crust. These environments are typically associated with volcanic arcs and stratovolcanoes. Examples of where andesitic magma is found include the Andes Mountains in South America and the Cascades in the western United States.
