What are two Ways volcanoes Form near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
Is Pinatubo is along converging plate boundaries?
Yes. Pinatubo and the other volcanoes of the Philippines are the result of he convergence between the Philippine Plate and the Eurasian plate.
What type of plate boundary does compression occur?
Converging Plate Boundaries
How do mountains build and volcanoes relate to plate motion at convergent boundaries?
they are both formed by converging plates at a BOUNDARY THAT PUSH UP THE EARTH
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
At which plate boundaries do most volcanoes form?
Most volcanoes form at a convergent plate boundary. Simply put when a oceanic plate and a continental plate hit each other face on the subduction of the oceanic plate causes the magma to rise and the converging of the plates makes a mountain and the magma rises through the top creating a volcano.
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary
Which type of plate boundaries produce volcanoes?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
What kinds of volcanoes form on converging plate boundaries?
Composite cone volcanos are the most common.. Shielding and other types are results from a divergent boundary.
Why do volcanoes and earthquakes happen along the Pacific Ring of Fire?
Two continental plates meet here plus a great number of faults
Is Hekla along converging plate boundaries?
