Question

which of the following best describes where volcanoes are likely located?
○ in the middle of continents
○ along mountainous areas
○ near plate boundaries at subduction zones
○ near the middle of plates

Explanation:

Volcanoes are most commonly found near plate boundaries, especially at subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced under another. This process causes melting of the sub - ducting plate and the overlying mantle, leading to magma formation and volcanic activity. In the middle of continents, there is less tectonic activity to generate magma for volcanoes. Mountainous areas may have volcanoes but not as consistently as subduction zones. The middle of plates is also a relatively stable area with less volcanic activity.

Answer:

Near plate boundaries at subduction zones
