In a subduction zone an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate or another oceanic plate. The subduction plate introduces water into the mantle, lowering melting temperatures and generating magma. This causes volcanoes, usually stratovolcanoes, to form on the overriding plate. If the overriding plate is continental a mountain range may develop.

What geological feature does subduction zones cause?
Subductions zones result in the formation of a trench and also volcanoes on the overriding plate
What types of boundaries do subduction zones form?
This forms on the plate tectonic boundaries.... particularly the convergent plate boundries.
What is the zones places where the seafloor is forced under continents to drift?
Subduction zones are where the seafloor is forced under continental plates.
What feature is not associated with subduction zones?
Rift valleys, sea-floor spreading and mid-ocean ridge.
Where are the most explosive volcanoes subduction zones or rift zones?
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
What deep ocean feature form at subduction zones?
Trenches are deep ocean features of subduction zones.
