Question

Volcanic mountains can form on the edge of continents on a ______________ boundary. *

A. convergent
B. divergent
C. transform

Answer 1

The two types of plate boundaries that are most likely to produce volcanic activity are divergent plate boundaries and convergent plate boundaries.

Divergent Plate Boundaries

At a divergent boundary, tectonic plates move apart from one another. They never really separate because magma continuously moves up from the mantle into this boundary, building new plate material on both sides of the plate boundary.

Answer 2

Convergent because volcanoes along oceanic spreading ridges are not as violent as they are at convergent boundaries
