What forms when oceanic plates collide?
1. Oceanic trenches. 2. Volcanic islands. 3. Volcanic mountains. and 4. Volcanic arcs.
At which type of plate boundary would a string of small volcanic islands most likely form?
Convergent Boundary meaning COLLISION! Oceanic-Oceanic which formed volcanic islands!
What is the difference between an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary and a oceanic-continental convergent boundary?
Oceanice oceanic has a trench, which is usually the deepest part of the ocean. It also has a volcanic island. That is how Islands are found in the center of oceans. oceanic convergent has similar features but do not have islands but instead volcanic arc on the continents.
What is an example of volcanic islands?
A volcanic island is the top part of an oceanic volcano which is above the water. An example of volcanic islands is Stromboli, Italy. Another example is the big island of Hawaii.
What are island arches?
A series of volcanic islands formed by an older oceanic plate subducting under a newer oceanic plate.
What geologic features are associated with each type of convergent boundary?
Subduction zones, trenches and volcanic islands: the boundary that is oceanic. Trenches and volcanic islands: an oceanic-continental boundary. Folded mountain ranges: a continental and continental collision.
What boundary causes volcanic islands?
A convergent boundry, when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide.
What three features can be found at divergent boundaries?
Rifts Mid-oceanic ridges Volcanic islands
What are the benefits of eruption of volcano?
A benefit that I can see is that islands known as "oceanic islands". These islands are volcanic islands because they form as a result of a volcanic activity. Research the term oceanic island or volcanic island for more details. EDIT: To build on this, you asked about benefits. I said that a benefit is the formation of a new island. Why is this a benefit? Well, new islands mean more land. The island may become inhabitable by humans and/or animals.
What is a specific example of what forms as a result of a shift in a convergent boundary?
at an oceanic to continental convergent boundary trenches and volcanic mountains can form. at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary trenches and volcanic islands can form. at a continental to continental convergent boundary fold mountains can form
What features form at a hot spot.?
They form volcanic mountains by heating magma that breaks through the crust. On the oceanic plates, these crustal hot spots can form chains of volcanic islands such as the Hawaiian Islands.
What is an example of a volcanic island?
Hawaii is a well-known example of a volcanic island formed by hot spots in the Earth's mantle creating a chain of volcanic islands over millions of years.
