Question

Responses

They form along plate boundaries.

They form along the eastern coasts of continents.

They form in the interiors of continents.

Answer 1

The correct response is: They form along plate boundaries.

Volcanoes are predominantly found at tectonic plate boundaries, including divergent boundaries (where plates move apart) and convergent boundaries (where plates collide). They can also occur in hotspots, which are areas where there is a lot of heat and magma production within the Earth's mantle, leading to volcanic activity away from plate boundaries.
