Volcanoes are typically found at the edges of tectonic plates, where the Earth's crust is either converging or diverging. At convergent boundaries, one plate is forced beneath another, melting into magma that can rise to the surface, forming volcanoes. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates pull apart, allowing magma to escape and create new volcanic islands or ridges. These geological processes lead to the concentration of volcanic activity along the edges of the Earth's tectonic plates.
What else can I help you with?
Why are volcanoes usually found on edges of tectonic plates?
because they form from earthquakes
Explain why volcanoes are commonly found at the edges of Earth's moving plates?
Volcanoes are commonly found at the edges of Earth's moving plates because this is where the movement of the plates causes the Earth's crust to become thinner and more fractured. Magma from the mantle below the crust can then more easily rise up through these fractures, leading to volcanic activity. This process is known as plate tectonics.
Where on earth do most volcanoes occur?
Most volcanoes are found along the edges of tectonic plates where they interact, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. This is where most of Earth's volcanic activity occurs due to the movement and collisions of these plates.
Where on earth can volcanoes be found?
anywhere where there is a crack that leads deeper into the earth
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
Are volcanoes found everywhere on earth?
Volcanoes are found nearly everywhere on Earth. There are even volcanoes located in the United States. There are a handful of countries without them.

Where is gabbro found on the earth?
Gabbrois found near and in volcanoes.
Where are volcanoes found on earth's surface?

What is likely to occur on the earth's surface where it lies above the edges of crustal plates?
volcanoes,earthquakes,mountains
Why are volcanoes are commonly found at the edges of earth moving plates?
I don't know :( this is my assignment :P
Where are most earth's volcanoes found?
In blake flake
Is there a relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
Most volcanoes form along the edges of Earth's tectonic plates. Also most volcanic eruptions are preceded by earthquakes.
