Volcanoes are formed when at least one of the plates colliding is a oceanic plate. The denser oceanic plate is forced underneath the less dense plate (usually continental) and starts to melt as it gets deeper into the Earth's core. Because the oceanic plate has water in it, the water turns into steam which then forces the melted plate back towards Earth's surface in the form of lava, creating a volcano.

Volcanoes commonly form as a result of which two types of collisions?
Volcanoes are usually found where tectonic plates are converging or diverging.
What feature would you find around converging tectonic plates?
Mountains, volcanoes, earthquake zones
What can result from the action of plates at a converging boundary?
moderate earthquakes, volcanoes, formation of mountains and subduction zones
How do mountain building and volcanoes relate to plate motion at converge NT boundaries?
they are both formed by converging plates at a BOUNDARY THAT PUSH UP THE EARTH
What are the landforms that you call volcanoes created by?
tectonic plates colliding

What are two ways volcanoes can forms near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.

Do volcanoes form on diverging or converging plate boundaries more?
Most are found on converging
What are the landforms that you call volcanoes created by?
tectonic plates colliding
How was Lassen Peak created?
lassen peak was created like most other volcanoes it was created by two tectonic plates or when two plates meet
What types of tectonic force create mountains?
The type of tectonic forces that create mountains are called converging plates. As two continental plates push together, the stress forces them both upwards. Because of this the Himalayas are still growing.
What type of landforms might a convergent boundary create?
Landforms that could be created at convergent boundaries would include: volcanoes, mountains, trenches, volcanic islands, and even deserts could result from the effects of converging boundaries.the landforms are mountains
