SteveVolcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries where two tectonic plates collide, causing subduction and the melting of rock. Divergent boundaries also have volcanoes, but they are typically less explosive and occur as a result of magma rising to fill the gap created by the moving plates.

Why is there no volcanoes in United Arab Emirates?
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.
How can you know the location and kinds of plate boundaries on earth and is there a plate boundary on earth and is there a plate boundary near out area?
Plate boundaries on Earth can be identified through the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes. There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform. To determine if there is a plate boundary near your area, you can look into geological maps, seismic activity reports, and information on nearby tectonic features such as mountain ranges or fault lines.
Is the volcano hekla along convergent or divergent plate boundaries?
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.
The boundaries between two colliding plates are called .?
The boundaries between two colliding plates is called a convergent boundary. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries, a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
What kinds of volcanoes form on converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes that form on converging plate boundaries are typically stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes. These volcanoes are formed by the subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another, leading to the formation of a volcanic arc and explosive eruptions due to the melting of the subducted plate. Examples include the Cascade Range in the U.S. and the Andes in South America.
