Answer:

Most volcanoes are found at plate boundaries because when the plates move, or pull apart, magma rises to the exterior and hardens.

More of the magma starts to spring up and becomes the lava that people see in volcanoes.

When the plates start to shift and slide, the volcano will erupt, causing earthquakes.
