Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
What else can I help you with?
Do volcanoes form on diverging or converging plate boundaries more?
Most are found on converging
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
What kinds of volcanoes form on converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes that form on converging plate boundaries are typically stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes. These volcanoes are formed by the subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another, leading to the formation of a volcanic arc and explosive eruptions due to the melting of the subducted plate. Examples include the Cascade Range in the U.S. and the Andes in South America.
At which plate boundaries do most volcanoes form?
The Convergent boundary forms a subduction zone. When the heavier plate reaches 100km the water is released from the submerged plate, and the mantle starts to melt. The mantle rises and a volcano forms on the lighter side plate. Unless it is a continent-continent convergent plate where mostly mountains are forms.
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
Why do volcanoes and earthquakes happen along the Pacific Ring of Fire?
Two continental plates meet here plus a great number of faults
Is the pacific plate a converging plate boundary?
Yes, the Pacific Plate is involved in multiple plate boundaries, including converging boundaries where it moves towards and collides with other plates, such as the North American Plate along the west coast of North America.
What types of Volcanoes can occur far from any plate boundaries?
Shield volcanoes may occur far from any plate boundaries.
