(1) At convergent boundaries (subduction zones), where one plate is being subducted (going beneath) the other.
(2) At hot spots, where a large magma plume has risen from the mantle.
(3) At divergent boundaries, where crust is moving apart, magma is wedging its way between the crust, and often erupts as a volcano.
Some people think that Volcanoes form from Earthquakes, but they don't.

∙ 10y agoThe three types of volcanoes are cinder cone, composite, and shield. Cinder Cones look like a cone-shaped mountain. A material called tephra (cinder) erupts and forms a cone-shaped mountain. Cinder cones are 100 to 400 meters tall. An example is Krakatoa Island.
Composite Volcanoes have both tephra and lava material that erupt from it. The materials layer themselves and form a huge cone-shaped mountain. Composite volcanoes are 100 to 3500 meters tall. Mount St. Helens is an example of a composite volcano.
Shield Volcanoes look like dome-shaped mountain. The mountain is formed when the lava spills out and gradually creates a dome-shaped mountain. Shield volcanoes are 9000 meters tall. Example: Hawaii Island.

What are the two major ways in which volcanoes most often form?
volcanoes takes place in two ways which are at the hotspot and at the point of weakness which are fault or crack
What are three facts about composite volcanoes?
Multiple eruptions form composite volcanoes. Andesite magma is the most common type of magma that erupts from composite volcanoes. Composite volcanoes can grow so high that their slopes become unstable and collapse.
What three things happen to plates at the boundaries?
earthquakes,volcanoes,and mountains form

What are the three ways volcanoes can form?
Well one way is when a volcano erupts, the lava dries and then it can make the volcano bigger by building it up.
