Plates that push together don't form volcanoes.

Answer 1

Plates that push together do form volcanoes, but at subduction zones, where one plate is forced beneath the other. Transform plate boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally, do not have the necessary conditions for the formation of volcanic arcs.
