10.3 Plate Tectonics and Igneous Activity Convergent Plate Boundaries plate motions provide the mechanisms by which mantle rocks melt to generate magma. Convergent Boundary Volcano 10.3 Plate Tectonics and Igneous Activity Divergent Plate Boundaries The greatest volume of volcanic rock is produced along the oceanic ridge system. • Lithosphere pulls apart. 10.3 Plate Tectonics and Igneous Activity Intraplate Igneous Activity Intraplate volcanism =volcanic activity on as tectonic plate away from plate boundaries. • Examples include the Hawaiian Islands and the Columbia Plateau. Kilauea, an Intraplate Volcano
