Question

volcanoes can form along all of the following except a) transform boundaries b) hot spots c) convergent boundaries d) divergent boundaries

Answer 1

A.) Transform Boundaries

Answer 2

Answer: Option (A)

Explanation: Volcanoes are formed when two plates collides with one another, and when the denser plate getting subducted below the lighter plate, the crust undergoes partial melting, as a result of which the magma forces towards the surface and thereby forms volcanoes. Also along the hotspot regions, volcanoes are formed because of the intruding magma.

But in case of transform plate boundary, the plates are neither destructed nor created. So, the plates remains conserved. Due to this, there occurs no partial melting of the crust and so no volcanoes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
