Where Does Volcanic Activity Occur? Myth: Most of the Earth's igneous rocks are produced at the Ring of Fire.. Fact: 70% of the Earth's surface is ocean floor, which is made of basalt, an igneous rock produced at mid-ocean ridges. The ridges are the most volcanically active features on the planet. Plate boundary volcanism. Volcanic activity occurs at two types of plate boundaries: mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones. At mid-ocean ridges, basaltic eruptions produce new sea-floor crust. These underwater eruptions don't produce big mountainous volcanoes, which is why they are often overlooked as the most volcanically active features on Earth.
Most hotspot volcanoes are basaltic (e.g., Hawaii, Tahiti). As a result, they are less explosive than subduction zone volcanoes, in which water is trapped under the overriding plate. Where hotspots occur in continental regions, basaltic magma rises through the continental crust, which melts to form rhyolites.t was later postulated that hotspots are fed by narrow streams of hot mantle rising from the Earth's coreâmantle boundary in a structure called a mantle plume. Whether or not such mantle plumes exist is currently the subject of a major controversy in Earth science.
