Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries
The United Arab Emirates is in the center of a continental plate. Although. It is not impossible to have a volcano in the center of a continental plate, it is not very common as you do not have a convergent or divergent plate boundary at the specific location. As a result, there are not currently any active volcanoes in the United Arab Emirates.
You know the location of a plate boundary by how the rocks and other geological features are in a curtain area, for example earthquakes and volcanoes are very common near a boundary. We can tell what kind of boundary it is by the way the ground is moving, if the ground is moving away from the boundary it is most likely a divergent boundary, and if the ground is moving towards the boundary it is likely to be a convergent. I hope that helped
Hekla volcano is located along a divergent plate boundary in Iceland, where the North American and Eurasian plates are moving apart. This movement creates rift zones where volcanic activity is common, including Hekla.
Volcanoes are most commonly found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries. At convergent boundaries, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, leading to melting and magma formation, which can result in volcanic eruptions. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise and create new crust, also resulting in volcanic activity. These processes contribute to the formation of volcanic arcs and mid-ocean ridges, respectively.
No, explosive volcanoes are typically not found at divergent boundaries. At these boundaries, tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise gently and create relatively non-explosive basaltic lava flows. In contrast, explosive volcanic activity is more common at convergent boundaries, where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, leading to the buildup of more viscous magma.

The things in common is that they form something.

Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.

In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.

Volcanoes and volcanic activity occurs at plate boundaries. Especially when one plate over rides another plate - convergent boundary. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
