Where one convergent plate is subducted under another, the sinking slab (which is full of wet sediments and organic remains) is heated and some of it melts to form magmas which migrate upwards to form volcanoes on the edge of the overlying plate.

At which type of plate boundary does rift-volcanism occur?
Volcanoes can be formed on both convergent and divergent boundaries.
What plate boundary are volcanoes formed at?
Volcanoes can form at three places-1. Divergent boundaries2. Convergent boundaries (oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental)2. Above hot spots
What boundary is it when a volcano formed?
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
What geologic events are likely to take place at convergent plate boundaries?
the plates might crash together causing the water above them to jolt, which can cause tsunamis.
Is Mount Vesuvius near a hot spot divergent or convergent plate boundary?
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.

Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary
How where the himalaya formed?
convergent plate boundaries

Is Mount Vesuvius near a hot spot divergent or convergent plate boundary?
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What type of plate boundary formed at islands?
constructive plate boundaries cause volcanoes.
Which of these convergent plate boundaries are active volcanoes not likely to be located?
Arabian Plate and Eurasian plate
What convergent plate boundaries are active volcanoes not likely to be located?
Arabian plate and Eurasian plate.
Volcanoes that form along convergent plate boundaries are located?
at the edge of plate collisions
How does a volcano erupt at a convergent boundary?
As an oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at a convergent boundary it causes rocks to melt. Some of the newly formed magma will migrate upward to volcanoes, that have formed along the convergent boundaries, and erupt.
