The type of boundary associated with Icelandic volcanoes is the constructive plate boundary, where two plates slowly move apart and magma seeps up through the gap.
Most volcanoes of any type, including cinder cones, are found at plate boundaries, but some are associated with hot spots.
What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.
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.
Mountains, volcanoes, rift valleys. Commonly associated with eartquakes. The landform depends on the type of boundary: converging, diverging, transform.
Volcanoes
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
High mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at convergent continental plate boundaries. These vary greatly from divergent boundaries which cause volcanoes to form.
Convergent oceanic - continental and oceanic - oceanic boundaries.
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.
Volcanoes can be formed by all three plate boundaries
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
