Most volcanic eruptions occur at tectonic plate boundaries, but some occur within a tectonic plate, far from plate boundaries.

Part A. Please explain the tectonic setting of volcanoes that occur at plate boundaries.

I'm not sure if this is what you need, but check out the link below. It has a brief description on the tectonic settings. This is not included in the textbook I have here at home. Let me know if this isn't what you're looking for. If not, I'll research it further.
