How does tectonic movement for volcanoes?

Tectonic movement plays a crucial role in the formation and activity of volcanoes. Most volcanoes are found at tectonic plate boundaries, where plates either converge, diverge, or slide past each other. In subduction zones, one plate is forced beneath another, melting into magma that rises to the surface, creating volcanoes. At divergent boundaries, magma can also rise to fill the gap as plates pull apart, leading to volcanic activity.
