Did japan form as a result of subduction or a hot spot?
Japan formed as a result of a subduction zone.
Is mount Cleveland a subduction zone?
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.
What does not happen near a subduction zone?
anything can happen at a subduction zone
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
Is volcan De fuego related to a hot spot or a subduction zone?
Subduction zone
Where do volcanic arcs form?
About 150km from a subduction zone.
What forms at a subduction zone?
Volcanic arcs and oceanic trenches commonly form at subduction zones.
Did japan form as a result of subduction or a hot spot?
Japan formed as a result of a subduction zone.
At a subduction zone what causes magma to rise?
heat and pressure of the 2 plates pushing against each other.
Where is a subductions zone most likely to form?
At a convergent boundary.
Why do volcanoes form above subduction zones?
magma forms in mantle above slab
Aera where an oceanic plate goes down into the mantle?
A subduction zone at a convergent plate boundary. Undersea trenches are formed where the oceanic plate subducts, and volcanism and earthquakes may result from the partial melting and downward movement of the subducting crust.
Is mount Cleveland a subduction zone?
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.
What does not happen near a subduction zone?
anything can happen at a subduction zone
What kind of mountains form on the land side of a subduction zone?
volcanic mountains
What happens after magma erupts along mid ocean?
The magma spills over the ridge and pushes the old sea floor away toward a subduction zone where the old sea floor melts.
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
