Question

15 question students are analyzing a map of tectonic plates to predict the locations of volcanoes. based on their analysis, where are most volcanoes located? a along convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates collide. b in the middle of tectonic plates, away from any boundaries. c at transform plate boundaries, where tectonic plates slide past each other. d randomly distributed across earths surface without relation to plate boundaries.

Explanation:

Volcanoes are commonly formed at convergent plate boundaries. When one tectonic plate is forced under another (subduction), melting occurs and magma rises to form volcanoes. In - contrast, volcanoes are less common in the middle of plates, at transform boundaries, or randomly distributed.

Answer:

A. Along convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates collide.
