  1. 1)   The types of volcanic eruptions at rift zones would most likely be of the Icelandic type.  Named so because it is seen in Iceland which is on the Mid-Atlantic rift.   Relatively mild outflows forming epansive basaltis plateaus.  

    2) The 3 types of plate collisions according to crust type would be:

        a) oceanic/oceanic collision

        b) oceanic/continental collison

        c) continental/continental collision

    hope that helps...


  2. Dear friend .I am not expert in volcano. But I can give full details about earthquakes. The tectonic plates are moving in three types.

    1. Compressional. One moving over another .These types of movements will cause the creation of Tsunami.

    2. Extensional. Moving away from one another. This types of movements causes volcano.

    3.Transform shakes the buildings violently.
