Volcanoes are often found in which type of plate boundary?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (C) Convergent and divergent boundaries
Explanation:
● Volcanoes commonly form at convergent boundaries where one plate subducts beneath another.
● They also occur at divergent boundaries where plates move apart, allowing magma to rise.
● Transform boundaries do not usually produce volcanic activity.
Information Booster:
● Pacific Ring of Fire is a major convergent boundary volcanic zone.
● Mid-Ocean Ridges are classic divergent volcano zones.
● Hotspot volcanoes form away from boundaries (e.g., Hawaii).
● Subduction melts crust → magma formation.
● Divergence reduces pressure → magma rises.
Additional Knowledge:
● Option A – Convergent & transform: Transform faults rarely produce volcanoes.
● Option B – Divergent only: Volcanoes also form at convergent boundaries.
● Option D – Transform only: Transform boundaries mostly cause earthquakes, not volcanoes.
