I have a list of volcanoes and can’t figure out which ones are on spreading plate boundaries. The lists includes: Arenal (Costa Rica), El Chichon (Mexico), El Misti (Peru), Erta Ale (Ethiopia), Falcon (Tonga Islands), Hekla (Iceland), Katmai (Alaska), Mauna Loa (Hawaii), Mt. Rainier (Washington), Ol Doinyo Lengai (Congo), Pinatubo (Phillipines), Rabaul (Papua New Guinea), Ruapehu (New Zealand), Tambora (Indonesia), Unzen (Japan) and Villarrica (Chile).
