Question
which location is most likely to form volcanoes? near the edge of a tectonic plate at the center of a tectonic plate where the climate is hottest in the middle of a continent
Volcanoes are formed at the boundaries of tectonic plates. When plates interact, one plate may subduct beneath another. Magma rises through the crust and erupts to form volcanoes. The center of a tectonic plate is relatively stable with little volcanic activity. The middle of a continent is far from plate - boundaries and has less volcanic activity. Climate has no direct relation to volcanic formation.
