Where do volcanoes occur—and why?. Divergent [MOR] boundaries . About 75% of erupted lava is found here. Basaltic magma; low viscosity, therefore it flows easily!. Oceanic crust ranges from about 2 km to 10 km thick. Lacey et al.’s (1981) model relates volcano radius to flux rate and viscosity as a function of time:.
