Where do large number of volcanoes form?
Volcanoes Form at Active Subduction Zones or in the ring of fire
A composite volcano is most likely to form where?
Composite volcanoes most often form near subduction zones.
What can form above subduction zones?
I think it would be shield volcanoes because it was it!
Do composite volcanoes form at subduction?
Usually, yes. Occasionally, though they can form in rift zones or at continental hotspots.
What do volcanic belts form along on?
Both subduction zones and spreading centers.

Why do volcanoes form above subduction zones?
magma forms in mantle above slab

Both subduction zones and spreading centers.
What boundary do subduction zones form on?
Subduction zones form along some tectonic plate boundaries. Of the three general types of tectonic plate boundaries, we will see them form at some (but not all) of what are called convergent plate boundaries.
How do subduction lead to volcanoes?
Volcanoes form in subduction zones. There, the oceanic crust is subducted, meaning that is slides under the continental crust. When the crust slides below, it melts. Then the melting rock rises up as magma, creating a volcano.
What deep ocean feature form at subduction zones?
Trenches are deep ocean features of subduction zones.
How volcanes distributed?
Volcanoes form along convergent boundaries known as subduction zones. Convergent boundaries form where oceanic lithosphere descends beneath continental crust. When the two plates collide convergence occurs, while volcanoes form along the zone.
What causes volcanoes in the ring of fire?
The "Ring of Fire" is where the Pacific Plate meets other plates that form the Earth's crust. Each of the Earth's plates is moving (very slowly). In geologic time, the movements of two plates at their intersection causes both volcanoes and earthquakes.
Are earths active volcanoes scattered randomly?
Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.
