Question
ghosts report lava bubbling up in their haunted volcano. what boundary are they near?
At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart. This allows magma (lava) to rise up from the mantle. Volcanoes are common at divergent boundaries as the magma erupts to fill the gap created by the separating plates. Transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other, passive is not a type of plate boundary in the standard tectonic sense, and convergent boundaries are where plates collide (usually leading to subduction or mountain - building rather than lava bubbling up in the way described for divergent boundaries).
