Answer:

1.Divergent boundaries (crust moves apart, magma fills in) Convergent boundaries (magma fills when one plate goes beneath another) Hot spots (a large magma plume rises from mantle)

2.Some mountains are made of solid rock, like the Rocky Mountains or the Swiss Alps. But, some mountains are actually volcanoes.

3.an area under the rocky outer layer of Earth, called the crust, where magma is hotter than surrounding magma.

4.hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and other minor gas species.

5.Extinct volcanoes are not expected to erupt in the future. Inside an active volcano is a chamber in which molten rock, called magma, collects. Pressure builds up inside the magma chamber, causing the magma to move through channels in the rock and escape onto the planet's surface.
