As two plates spread apart from each other at the boundary, magma that was trapped below wells up between them. This magma can be released in the form of volcanoes or ooze out from rift valleys.

∙ 13y agoVolcanoes often form at spreading plate boundaries due to the upwelling of hot molten rock from the mantle, creating new oceanic crust. As the plates move apart, magma rises to the surface, leading to volcanic activity. This process is known as seafloor spreading.

There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
A convergent plate boundary where one plate subducts beneath another is the type of plate boundary that triggers the formation of active volcanoes. The subducted plate melts and forms magma, which rises to the surface and causes volcanic activity.
The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.

Divergent boundaries is the other name for a spreading plate boundary.

Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
spreading or divergent boundary
Spreading plate boundary is the other name for converging plate boundary.
They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.
