When the two plates collide, the oceanic plate is pulled under the continental plate. As the plate is pushed further down, heat and pressure increase, which causes the crust to melt and form magma, Volcanoes are created along the plate collision to release the pressurized magma.

∙ 11y agoAs the crust spreads at a rift, it thins, and faulting occurs, as the rock between the faults moves wider apart, magma from the earth's interior rises to fill that space. Eventually the magma rises to the surface and forms a volcano

∙ 11y agoVolcanoes cannot be formed at a continental rift, due to the fact that a volcano cannot form between two continental plates: it normally forms when one continental plate and an oceanic plate collide.
Normally, a volcano forms when one continental and one oceanic plate collides. The denser oceanic plate

thus occur at or near actual plate boundaries.

Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form when magma reaches the surface, and then the valleys form from erosion.
Usually, yes. Occasionally, though they can form in rift zones or at continental hotspots.
I think it would be shield volcanoes because it was it!
The thinned crust in rift zones results in the formation of magma (molten rock) in the upper mantle, which then rises through the crust. As a result, rift zones often have active volcanoes, which form new igneous rocks.
As two plates spread apart from each other at the boundary, magma that was trapped below wells up between them. This magma can be released in the form of volcanoes or ooze out from rift valleys.
Rift volcanoes.
Shield volcanoes are not hot spots but they are associated with them. However, such volcanoes can also form at rift zones.

Most volcanoes do form near colliding plate boundaries where subduction occurs, such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. However, volcanoes can also form in other geologic settings, such as hotspots and rift zones.
Igneous. Crustal material is added in rift valleys by the addition of magma.
A large number of volcanoes form along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where the earth's crust is weak and molten rock (magma) can rise to the surface. These boundary regions include areas such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean and the East African Rift.
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
