The buoyant force pushes you toward the surface.
How magma reaches the surface?
Magma sometimes flows toward the surface as a result of convection currents in the magma, that is to say, the hotter magma rises within cooler magma. Because it is so hot, the rising magma simply melts away anything in its path, so nothing can prevent it from reaching the surface.
How volcanoes form at convergent boundaries?
In convergences between two oceanic plates OR between an oceanic and a continental plate, the more dense plate subducts under the less dense plate and moves toward the mantle. As the geothermal gradient increases with depth, the subducting plate is exposed to higher and higher temperatures. The oceanic crust undergoes partial melting from exposure to these increased temperatures, and due to the presence of water in the subducting plate. Lithostatic pressure,and the low density of the magma cause it to rise toward the surface. Some magma may solidify underground before reaching the surface; some magma, however, finds its way to the surface, and produces a volcano.
