Volcanism occurs ...at the plate margins ...
at divergent boundaries, as the sea floor spreads, e.g., the spreading submarine ridges and rises; and
at the subducted margins of convergent plate boundaries ...
when the oceanic edge of one plate collides against the oceanic edge of another plate, so forming an island arc, e.g., the Sunda Arc, the Philippines, orwhen the oceanic edge of one plate collides against the continental edge of another plate, e.g., the Cascade Range volcanism.
at the hot-spots or mantle-plumes, as the Hawaii-Emperor chain, Iceland, Azores, Yellowstone etc., andas the flood basalts or Large Igneous Provinces, e.g., CRB, Deccan, Parana, Siberian Traps etc.

Sea floor spread by intermittant volcanism at the mid-ocean ridge (top left) results in the recording by subsequent lavas of the geo-magnetic polarity reversals (left bottom) and the resulting marine magnetic anomalies can be mapped by the magnetometers towed by ships (bottom right).

Ridge splitting Iceland and
separating the North American
and Eurasian Plates. The map
also shows Reykjavik, the
capital of Iceland, the
Thingvellir area, and the locations
of some of Iceland's active volcanoes (red

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which splits nearly the entire Atlantic Ocean north to south, is probably the best-known and most-studied example of a divergent-plate boundary.

View of the first high-temperature vent (380 °C)
ever seen by scientists during a dive of the deep-sea submersible Alvin on
the East Pacific Rise (latitude 21° north) in
1979. Such geothermal vents--called smokers because they resemble chimneys--spew dark,
mineral-rich, fluids heated by contact with the
newly formed, still-hot oceanic crust. This
photograph shows a black smoker, but
smokers can also be white, grey, or clear
depending on the material being ejected.

The deep-sea hot-spring environment supports abundant and bizarre sea life, including tube worms, crabs, giant clams. This hot-spring "neighborhood" is at 13° N along the East Pacific Rise.

Volcanism occurs at the subducted margins that form ...
or by the convergence of continental edge of one plate and the oceanic edge of the other.

east and Canada. Note that the Cascadia
subduction zone is also called the “Filled

carried by the huge runoff from land that
has characterized this region particularly
since the Last Ice Age.

Conclusion
Multi-year, multi-wavelength lidar studies of two major volcanic events reveal details of buildup and decay that are important for proper climatic modeling of such events. Over the United States, build-up from these two tropical volcanoes appears to be similar but decay is dissimilar. Simultaeously, both the troposphere and the stratosphere are affected by such eruptions, a heretofore unknown result.

Catastrophe at
Lake Nyos, Cameroon
On August 21, 1986, a massive cloud of CO2 gas from the lake flowed out over nearby towns
and claimed 1,700 lives. The victims were not poisoned, the
simply suffocated: being denser than air, CO2 would tend to settle
near the ground and be rather slow to disperse.
