Fuse means, essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows, which breaks the circuit in which it is connected, thus protecting the circuit's other components from damage due to excessive current. I hope that helps.
Rift volcanoes occur where tectonic plates diverge, often on the ocean floor. These are generally less explosive. Hot spot volcanoes occur in the middle of plate boundaries where magma exits from weaknesses in the earth's surface. The Hawaiian Islands are an example of hot spot volcanoes. The most active area of volcanic activity occurs along the pacific plate boundary which is often referred to as the 'Pacific ring of fire'.
Also similar to earthquakes, different kinds of volcanoes occur along different types of plate boundaries. Most of the volcanic eruptions that make the news, such as the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption, take place near subduction zones.This type of volcano is represented by green triangles in Figure 2.hese observations about the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes helped geologists define the processes that occur at spreading ridges and subduction zones. In addition, they helped scientists recognize that there are other types of plate boundaries.
