Why are volcanoes mostly found at places where continents meet the seas?

• It is where water meets land.

• It is where the oceanic plates subduct under the continental plate.

• Underneath it is a subduction zone.

• More magma is produced under the ground because of the muddy seafloor.

• converging continental plates

• diverging plates

• converging oceanic plates

• plates sliding past each other
