Answer:

Volcanic activity occurs at two types of plate boundaries: mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones. At mid-ocean ridges, basaltic eruptions produce new sea-floor crust. These underwater eruptions don't produce big mountainous volcanoes, which is why they are often overlooked as the most volcanically active features on Earth.

They occur where two tectonic plates tends to move towards each other or away from each other.

  • Tectonic activities, such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, tend to occur when two tectonic plates collides against each other.
  • The world's greatest earthquake belt where earthquakes, volcanic eruptions etc tends to occur is the circum-Pacific seismic belt.
  • This belt is found along the Pacific Ocean, in this region around 81 percent largest earthquakes of our planets occur.
  • This whole zone is called as "Ring of Fire".
  • Earthquakes are occurring throughout the world at every few minutes or hours but we can't feel them due to their low intensity.
