User: Volcanoes are usually formed as a result of

Volcanoes are usually formed as a result of magma accumulating under pressure at destructive (compressional) and constructive (tensional) plate boundaries and then suddenly being erupted due to plate movement.

New seabed is continually being formed from the spreading ridge, which creates relatively shallow areas in the middle of the Atlantic above the extremely flat abyssal plains that begin at the margins of the continental shelves. ] ] (More)
