Identify the type of plate boundary at which most volcanoes are found?

Convergent boundaries.
If you are doing lots of research, it's technically also divergent boundaries. However, if you are answering a multiple choice or fill in the blank where you can only put in one thing, put in convergent boundaries.
How do I know this?
When I put divergent boundaries in for my answer on my science test, it said I was wrong. And transform boundaries is definitaly not the answer. :) And I've done lots of studying and research

∙ 14y agoIt is not any plate movement (convergent, divergent, or transform). It is actually a "hot spot" in the earths mantel. Subduction occurs and it will start to melt, raise up and break the surface. On a chain the plates continue to move but the hot spot is still there so this continues to happen. Eventually a chain will form.

What is the patteren between Ayelu and Likaiu volcanoes?
both volcanoes are located near the African plate boundary
What are the two plate boundary volcanoes located in the northwest US?
The two plate boundaries are the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American Plate.
What type of plate boundaries do stratovolcanoes occur?
At constructive plate margins (where two plate slide away from each other) or a destructive plate boundary (where two plates slide together), volcanoes do not occur at a conservative plate margin. Hope this helps
What plate boundary was the Shensi Earthquake?
Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.
What plate boundary causes seismic waves?
Destructive plate boundary.
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanoes?
A transform plate boundary
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary
What kind of plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes?
The Transform plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes - Professer Humifiken
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
What do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?
Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
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.^_^
At what type of boundary do hot-spot volcanoes form at?
Tectonic plate boundary
At what kind of plate boundary do most underwater volcanoes occur?
divergent boundary
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.
Where do volcanoes errupt the most?
Where there is a tectonic plate boundary
How is similar divergent plate boundary and transform plate boundary?
They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.
What plate boundary forms arcs of volcanoes and deep-ocean trenches?
A convergent plate boundary where subduction occurs.
