उत्तर
- The plate boundaries are directly related to the areas of volcanoes.
- Most of the volcanoes are located on the plate boundaries.
- The part of the plate boundary which slides under the crust, results in the loss of material. Such boundaries are called plate consuming boundaries.
- In areas where new material (magma) is coming up onto the Earth’s crust, they are called plate creating boundaries.
- Both the processes result in earthquakes and volcanoes. Thus, most of the volcanoes are formed in the plate boundaries.
