Is mount Pinatubo on a constructive or destructive plate boundary?
Mount Pinatubo is on a destructive plate boundary; it is above a subduction zone
What tectonic plates caused the Mt Pinatubo eruption?
The Philippine plate collided with the Eurasian plate this is called a convergent boundary where the two plates collided and the plate melts and then shoots back up through the volcano causing an eruption
Is mt Pinatubo formed at a hot spot?
No. A hot spot volcano forms in the middle of a plate, for reasons nobody is sure of. Mount. Pinatubo is formed due to the destructive plate boundary between the Pacific (oceanic ) and the Eurasian (continental) plates. +++ A hot spot volcano is also called an 'intra-plate volcano'. One theory if that it forms over a rising convection-plume within the Mantle, but the existence of such relatively narrow columns of slightly less dense rock is a matter of some debate, being very hard to prove convincingly. Structures deep within the planet can only be detected by analysing many seismographs from around the world, and my own thought is that the acoustic properties of a mantle-plume may mean very limited effects on seismic waves, making it hard to "see" against the surrounding Mantle. ' Hawaii is the classic example of such a volcano, and it has left a trail across part of the Pacific floor as the plate itself has drifted over the hot spot. ' Volcanoes also form on constructive-plate boundaries, and tend to be more benign than the destructive-boundary cousins. Example - Iceland.
Is Mt Kilauea located on a subduction zone?
No. Kilauea is located over a hot spot.
What is the plate tectonic setting of Mount Pinatubo?
Mount Pinatubo is above a subduction zone from the philippine plate and the Eurasian Plate, The Philippine Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian plate because it is more dense.
What two plates formed mount Pinatubo?
Mt. Pinatubo is in a subduction zone. subduction is when one tectonic plate slides under another. In the Mt. Pinatubo area the Eurasian Plate slides under the Philippine Sea Plate at the Manila Trench.
Is mount Pinatubo on a constructive or destructive plate boundary?
Mount Pinatubo is on a destructive plate boundary; it is above a subduction zone
What tectonic plates is Mount Pinatubo on?
Convergent plate boundary, more specifically a subduction zone.
On what valcanic plate boundary type is Mt Merapi?
It is above a subduction zone
Is Mt Stromboli over a hot spot?
No. Stromboli is associated with a subduction zone.

What type of mountain is MT. Pinatubo composite?
yes Mt Pinatubo is a composite volcano
Was Mount St. Helens formed along a subduction zone or a rift zone?
Mount St. Helens was formed along a subduction zone, where the Juan de Fuca Plate plate dives under (subducts) the North American plate.
Is Mt Krakatoa a hot spot?
Krakatoa is not associated with a hot spot. It is associated with a subduction zone.
