Why did chances peak erupt?
The volcano erupted due to it lying on a destructive plate boundary, where the denser North American Plate, was sinking underneath the less dense Caribbean Plate causing a subduction zone. Due to the sinking of the North American Plate into the mantle, magma started to rise to which caused the volcano to erupt.
What type of plate boundary is lassen peak?
Lassen Peak is located in Northern California. It is a convergent boundary that formed when the Pacific Plate collided with the North American Plate..

Trenches are formed at convergent plate boundaries involving at least one oceanic plate, where the more dense plate subducts under the less dense plate.
What tectonic plates are under the Philippines?
The Philippine Sea Plate lies under the Philippines. It is theorized that this plate is rotating slowly clockwise.
Where is the earth's crust do most volcanoes erupt?
well mostly along plate boundarys but there can be "hot spots" in the mantle that magma come out of. for ex:hawii is right over a hot spot well mostly along plate boundarys but there can be "hot spots" in the mantle that magma come out of. for ex:hawii is right over a hot spot
