Where is andesitic magma found?

Andesite can be found around volcanoes with magma of intermediate composition, usually near subduction zones.


Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?

No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.


What are formed along subduction zones?

trenches


Why do volcanoes form above subduction zones?

magma forms in mantle above slab


Where does hydration melting occur?

Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones?

No


Is Shield volcanoes found along subduction zones?

Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.


What do volcanic belts form along on?

Both subduction zones and spreading centers.

In Subduction zones.


Where is Ocean crust being destroyed?

At subduction zones along convergent plate boundaries.


Where are the most explosive volcanoes subduction zones or rift zones?

Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.


Why are volcanoes located in well defined belts?

because that is where plates subduct under each other creating subduction zones below the subduction zones these sinking plates heat up at the Wadati-Benioff zone. they melt and rise as magma towards the crust /'the ocean floor.over time the magma piles up due to constant rising and cooling of magma and in some cases an island forms as it breaks the ocean surface
