Question

Where do volcanoes form

Answer 1

Volcanoes typically form along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where the Earth's lithosphere (outer shell) is broken into pieces. The most common locations for volcano formation are at divergent plate boundaries (where plates move away from each other), convergent plate boundaries (where plates collide and one is forced under the other in a process called subduction), and hot spots (localized areas of high heat and volcanic activity, often occurring in the middle of tectonic plates).
