First, at a subduction zone, old stiff oceanic crust dives under a less dense continental plate boundary. Next, the old oceanic crust melts, becoming less dense and floating towards the top of continental crust. After many years, a build up of the molten material bursts to the surface as volcanic activity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The point is that the sinking plate is wet and the water in the rocks facilitates a process of partial melting of the wet rocks as they begin to get warmed up again. This produces special acidic magmas which means that the volcanoes and magmas produced in the subduction zones is not the same as tcanrieenkhgengrehat produced in the constructive plate margins. the chicken is being saves by a person from the vol
As an oceanic plate subducts it brings volatiles such as water with it. This gets into the rocks of the asthenosphere and lowers the melting point. The resulting molten material then rises to the surface, forming volcano.
Shield volcanoes. Don't expect to see a composite because it will most likely never happen. Rarely will you see a cinder cone volcano.
composite cone
Moun Cleveland formed as a result of a subduction zone, but is not a subduction zone in and of itself. A subduction zone is a feature that forms volcanoes, not a kind of volcano.
anything can happen at a subduction zone
Close to a tectonic plate subduction zone, a tectonic spreading zone or a localised 'hot spot'.
Some websites say it was on a subduction zone, but Discovery Channel says it was a hot spot, so you can decide for yourself.

It is the subduction zone between the Cocos and North American plates.

No. Katmai is associated with a subduction zone.

No. Stromboli is associated with a subduction zone, which is a convergent boundary.
No. Wizard Island is part of Mount Mazama, which is a subduction zone volcano.
I think the plate boundary is in the subduction zone.
Montserrat is a volcanic island because it was formed by a volcano. The volcano is the result of a subduction zone.
No. Mount Mazama, the volcano that holds Crater Lake, formed as a result of a subduction zone.
