How do plate tectonics relate to volcanoes on other planets?

Answer 1

I think the volcanoes on the other planets occurs above the large magma chambers,but not along the plate boundaries.Hence they are not linked to plate tectonics....

We know and the science have proved that volcanoes also occur on other planets including Jupiter,Saturn's ice volcanoes, mars and mercury etc.

But since Astronauts have never been to other planets[except Mars] so we are not sure about this....But other planets presently don't show the crustal structures similar to the Earth.

Plate tectonics on other planets, like Earth, can influence volcanic activity. The movement and interaction of tectonic plates can create conditions conducive to volcanic eruptions by causing magma to rise to the surface through volcanic vents or fractures. Additionally, the presence of tectonic activity can affect the composition and distribution of volcanic materials on the planet's surface.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
