Mount Pinatubo is a product of a subduction zone. Here a portion of the Pacific Plate is sliding under the Philippine Plate. Seawater is carried into the mantle where it alters them chemistry of the hot rocks, allowing some to melt. This magma then rises to the surface form volcanoes. Because of Mount Pinatubo is near the ring of fire, so the volcano is very dangerous and powerful.
