Eruptions result from melting mantle rock and vary based on magma composition, impacting the environment. They can be effusive or explosive, with supervolcanoes like Yellowstone posing significant threats.

It emphasizes their prevalence in convergent zones like the Pacific Ring of Fire, as well as divergent boundaries and hot spots like the Hawaiian Islands. The content covers fundamental concepts regarding volcanic formation, distribution, and the comparison of various volcanic types.

It explains the types of plate boundaries: divergent, where plates move apart; convergent, where they move together; and transform, where they slide past each other. The page details how these movements lead to geological formations like volcanic arcs and mountain ranges, and touches on the historical breakup of the supercontinent Pangea.
