When tectonic plates converge together at the bottom of the ocean the oceanic plate goes under the continental plate because the oceanic plate weighs more and then the oceanic plate pushes up the continental plate which forms mountains and sometimes the tectonic plates let magma through which goes up through the continental plate and then opens a hole at the top of the mountains called a vent which is where the steam, volcanic ash, debris and lava come out of.
