Volcanic islands typically form near subduction zone, but they can also form at hot spots, which are not associated with plate boundaries.

How does volcanic island chain (like Japan) form?
the plates collide together and both plates push upward, forming a volcano.
What geologic features are associated with each type of convergent boundary?
Subduction zones, trenches and volcanic islands: the boundary that is oceanic. Trenches and volcanic islands: an oceanic-continental boundary. Folded mountain ranges: a continental and continental collision.
The Hawaiian islands has what type of plate boundary?
it is not associated with any plate boundries
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity this type of boundary forms?
booff
What type of plate boundary is found a volcanic mountain range?
convergent (plates that come together)
What boundary causes volcanic islands?
A convergent boundry, when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide.
A series of volcanic islands that form along a plate boundary is called a what?
This is called a volcanic island arc.
At which type of plate boundary would a string of small volcanic islands most likely form?
Convergent Boundary meaning COLLISION! Oceanic-Oceanic which formed volcanic islands!
The Aleutian Islands occur at a what type of boundary?
The Aleutian Islands occur at a convergent boundary, specifically where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the North American Plate. This subduction zone has created a volcanic island arc along the boundary.
North Atlantic Ocean is a volcanic island formed over a hot spot on a divergent plate boundary?
The Hawaiin Islands
What kind of Plate boundary is in japan?
Japan is at the meeting place of four tectonic plates: The Pacific Plate, The Eurasian Plates, The Philippine Plate, and the Okhotsk Plate (sometimes considered part of the North American Plate).
Does island have a lot of volcanoes because it is on the boundary of two plates?
Many volcanic islands are a product of plate boundaries, but some, such as the Hawaiian islands, form over hot spots away from plate boundaries.
How does volcanic island chain (like Japan) form?
the plates collide together and both plates push upward, forming a volcano.
What is a characteristic of a divergent boundary recognized?
volcanic islands
What type of plate boundary formed at islands?
constructive plate boundaries cause volcanoes.
How did the Aleutian islands form?
The Aleutian Islands were formed by the collision of tectonic plates. The islands lie along the boundary where the Pacific Plate is being pushed beneath the North American Plate in a process known as subduction. This tectonic activity has led to the creation of a chain of volcanic islands.
What boundary is the mauna loa on?
If we consult a map showing tectonic plates, we can see that Mauna Loa is on the Pacific plate. The general rule is that volcanic activity usually appears along plate boundaries, but Mauna Loa and the Hawaiian Islands sit on what is called a hot spot in approximately the middle of Pacific plate.
