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.
The boundaries between two colliding plates are called .?
The boundaries between two colliding plates is called a convergent boundary. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries, a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates?
Volcanic mountains over hot spots in the mantle. Fault-block
What is the difference between the Mohorovicic discontinuity and the Gutenberg discontinuity?
They mark the boundaries of differing layers of the Earth. The Moho marks the boundary between the crust and the mantle, whereas the Gutenberg discontinuity marks the boundary between the mantle and outer core.
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
Which type of boundary interactions does a dive into the mantle entail?
This occurs at a convergent plate boundary and is known as subduction.
What happens between oceanic and continental plates at convergent boundaries?
Convergent boundary+oceanic plate=subduction because the oceanic plate is more dense causing it to subduct down back to the mantle.

At a convergent plate boundary between a continental and an oceanic plate which plate will be subdued down into the mantle?
The oceanic plate will be subdued down into the mantle because it is denser. Or has more density*smiles* Hope I helped.

They mark the boundaries of differing layers of the Earth. The Moho marks the boundary between the crust and the mantle, whereas the Gutenberg discontinuity marks the boundary between the mantle and outer core.
What is the boundary between mantle and core?
The boundary between the mantle and the core is called the core-mantle boundary and also The Gutenberg Discontinuity which marks the upper boundary of the D'' (D Double Prime) layer.
What the boundary between the core and mantle?
The boundary of mantle and core are called Gutenberg Discontinuity
What happens to rock along converging boundaries?
It is folded and uplifted, or subducted into the mantle, depending on the type of convergent boundary.
What type of boundary below occurs where two plates move together causing one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
convergent boundary
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
