Movement of the plates below the other plates will cause cavities in the outlet of the magma from the bowels of the earth.
Explanation:
There are several types of tectonic plate movements, namely Divergent, convergent and Transform.
Divergent is the movement of two plates that move away from one another
Convergent is the movement of two plates that are close together or collide
Transform is the movement of two plates rub against each other.
Of the three types of plates that are most likely to form volcanoes are convergent. Converging subduction type is a movement where the two plates that come close to each other or collide make one of the plates move below the other plate. The result is the emergence of channels that can be used by magma to get out to the surface of the earth so that the appearance of volcanoes. The easiest examples are along the islands of Java, NTT, NTB, Bali, Sumatra to Papua in Indonesia. So that many volcanoes are found in Indonesia as a result of the convergence of the Asian plate with Australia.
