A chain of volcanoes is called a volcanic arc. it is produced by A volcanic arc is a chain of volcanoes formed above a subducting plate, positioned in an arc shape as seen from above. Offshore volcanoes form islands, resulting in a volcanic island arc. Generally, volcanic arcs result from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench. The oceanic plate is saturated with water, and volatiles such as water drastically lower the melting point of the mantle. As the oceanic plate is subducted, it is subjected to gre

Is new crust created at a convergent boundary?
No. New crust is created along a divergent boundary. Crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary.
Does a rift valley forms along a convergent boundary on land?
No, that would be a divergent plate boundary where a rift valley forms.
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 type of fault do you typically find along a convergent plate boundary?
A layered fault
Is a reverse fault often located along a divergent plate boundary or convergent?
A reverse fault is often found at convergent plate boundaries.
Are volcanoes more common along a convergent or divergent boundary?
Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries
How does a volcano erupt at a convergent boundary?
As an oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at a convergent boundary it causes rocks to melt. Some of the newly formed magma will migrate upward to volcanoes, that have formed along the convergent boundaries, and erupt.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
Was the earthquake a transform boundary in japan?
No. it was along a convergent boundary.
Is new crust created at a convergent boundary?
No. New crust is created along a divergent boundary. Crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary.
What type of boundary did the Mariana Trench form along?
Convergent
What type of boundary is the mariana trench form along?
convergent
Are the two plates along the coast of South America probably a divergent boundary or a convergent boundary?
It is a convergent boundary The subduction of the pacific plate underneath the west coast of South America creates the uplift and volcanoes that is still producing the Andean mountain range. A divergent boundary would create a mid-ocean ridge, or somthing akin to the great rift valley in Africa.
The cascade range volcanoes are associated with which type of plate boundary?
convergent oceanic oceanic
What type of volcano is found along convergent boundary?
Composite cone
Is the volcano hekla along convergent or divergent plate boundaries?
Its along a divergent plate boundary.
String of volcanic landforms along a convergent boundarie?
