1. A subduction zone is an area where one tectonic plate sinks underneath another one. Volcanoes often form as a result. plate collisions would most likely result in a subduction zone?

What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
Subduction.
When are island arc volcanoes formed?
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
Volcanoes commonly form as a result of which two types of collisions?
Volcanoes are usually found where tectonic plates are converging or diverging.
When are island-arc volcanoes formed?
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
When one tectonic plate pushes underneath another what kind of boundary forms?
subduction zone or continental plate

Subduction.
What is the noun for the movement of one of earth's heavier tectonic plates underneath a lighter tectonic plate?
Subduction.
When are island arc volcanoes formed?

What is the danger of japans tectonic location?
Lots of volcanoes , earthquakes and tsunamis10% of the world active volcanoes are in japanjapan is over 4 tectonic plates in 3 subduction zones.

Is the Korean peninsula considered to be an active tectonic or volcanic region?
There are active volcanoes in Korea with associated plate subduction zones.
Why volcanoes is located at Iceland?
because iceland is one of the countries on the tectonic plate si itz part of a subduction zone :)
Do volcanoes occur where two tectonic plates moves apart and magma rises up to create new crust?
No. Generally volcanoes occur at plate boundaries called subduction boundaries. At a subduction boundary one tectonic plate rides over another and the lower plate is forced down and magma is forced up
How are volcanic?
Volcanoes form when tectonic plates move on the surface of the earth. It occurs at transform plate boundaries. Tectonic plates are always moving slowly, but when an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, it creates a Subduction zone known where volcanoes are found.
Why do some volcanoes lie dormant for thousands of years and others erupt every few years?
Some volcanoes lie over 'hot spots' in the Earth's mantle where molten material is continuously being produced and injected through the crust. Other types of volcanoes are produced from the subduction processes of tectonic plate collisions where magma pressure builds, erupts, then builds again in a cycle of sorts.
