Answer:

Divergent and convergent plate boundaries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most of the volcanic activities occur at divergent and convergent plate boundaries. Decompression melting at divergent plate boundaries leads to formation of magma. Convergent plate boundaries experience magma formation where water serves as flux and reduces the melting temperature of nearby mantle rock.
