Rift volcanism typically occurs at divergent tectonic boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other.

This process creates a rift or gap in the Earth's crust, allowing magma to rise from the mantle and form new crust as it solidifies.

An example of a rift zone is the East African Rift.
