Volcanoes most commonly occur at convergent and divergent plate boundaries. At convergent boundaries, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, leading to melting and the formation of magma, which can result in volcanic eruptions. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates pull apart, allowing magma to rise from the mantle and create new crust, often resulting in volcanic activity.
