Volcano's are caused by the dense oceanic plate being sub ducted under the lighter continental plate, this causes immense pressure as the oceanic crust enters the mantle it melts, this magma is forced to create a chamber creating rock as it cools, this results in a volcano being formed, volcano's have to erupt occasionally to disperse the pressure that is built up by the oceanic plate going under and melting under the continental plate.
What else can I help you with?
Describe volcano distribution?
Volcanoes are distributed as they are because most occur at the boundaries of the world's tectonic plates. Subducted crust rises as magma at constructive or destructive plate boundaries, and escapes through vents in the crust, often forming volcanoes on the surface. The only exceptions to volcanoes at plate boundaries are what are known as "hot-spot" volcanoes, that occur where a particular section of the Earth's crust is very thin and being heated by the mantle below. An example of this would be the Hawaiian Islands.
What volcano is formed along colliding boundaries?
Most of the volcanoes at convergent boundaries are stratovolcanoes.
Are volcanoes more common along a convergent or divergent boundary?
Volcanoes 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.
Volcanoes usually occur along what plate boundaries?
transform and divergent
Where do most of earth volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
along plate boundaries
Where are the majority of earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to the plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia
What volcanoes are located along divergent boundaries?
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
Where are most earthquakes likely to occur?
At or near the boundaries of tectonic plates.along the Pacific Rim, which includes most of the countries that has the Pacific Ocean as a coast line.Plate boundaries (constructive,destructive,conservative,collision)Along earthquake faultsunderwater
The region along the tectonic plate boundaries where one plate moves beneath another is called?
It's Constructive plate boundary which is often found near north & south america... The other r destructive & conservative.. BUT THE ANS IZZZ CONSTRUCTIVE,,,,

Can volcanoes form along divergent boundaries on land?
yes
How volcanes distributed?
Volcanoes are typically distributed along plate boundaries, known as the Ring of Fire, or can occur in hot spots like Hawaii. They can also be found along mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are spreading apart. Some volcanoes form within the interior of plates due to hotspots, like the Yellowstone supervolcano.
Are volcanoes more common along a convergent or divergent boundary?
Volcanoes 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.
