Tom is marking the locations of active volcanoes on a world map. Explain how the locations of the volcanoes are related to earths plates

OpenStudy (asf_jerome):

they are found along two types of plate boundary: subduction zones, where an oceanic plate slides beneath another plate, and into the earth's mantle, where the rock in the plate melts, and then rises to the surface to form a chain of volcanoes and divergent boundaries, where molted rock rises to the surface and creates new crust that pushes away older crust
