what type of volcanoes are formed at divergent boundries
Shield volcano is a type of volcano found at the divergent boundaries. SPREADING CENTER VOLCANOES. The type of volcanoes that are caused by diverging plate boundaries are called as spreading center volcanoes.When the tectonic plates drift apart from each other, the magma contents buried underneath rises upwards and erupts out through the fissures and openings on the crust.he type of volcanoes that are caused by diverging plate boundaries are called as spreading center volcanoes.
