On Earth‚ volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-oceanic ridge‚ for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge‚ has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together. By contrast‚ volcanoes are not usually created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth’s
