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.

What happens on a divergent plate boundary?
the two plates are moving away from each other, and new crust is formed.
How long did it take for the Rocky Mountains to form?
The rocky mountians formed over 20 million years of colition bettween two continental plates
How long did it take to build mount vernon?
mount vernon was built for two years
What is the Great Rift Valley of East Africa an excellent example of?
The spreading of plates from a divergent boundary that divides an existing landmass into two separate plates.
What two gods do not have thrones on mount Olympus?
Hades and hestia
How was Mount Vesuvius formed?
it was just formed naturlly and it was not formed by any earthquake Mount Vesuvius was formed when two plates collided
How was Mount Adams formed?
It was formed by two plates converging together and staying like that for a while with tons of presser.
Why did the Mount Pinatubo plates move?
Mount Pinatubo plates moved due to a movement of two plates, when two plates rubtogether they melt causing liquid magma. When the pressure builds or a sudden movement of two plates can cause an earthquake which allows the volcano to erupt. Mt Pinatubo rumbled for days then it erupted killing around people including several journalists. It sent a cloud of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere 20 million tons of it travelled around the equator for days, the particles reflected sun light and cooled the whole world by 1. Who ever wrote this first could not spell Plus didn't say why they actually MOVE (i.e. the question). They move due to convection currents. These occur from the heating process withing the core of the earth. Warm magma rises to the surface where it cools and sinks. This process is a flow (circular) and moves the plates.
What is formed when two ocean plate collide?
When tectonic plates collide and the direction of the forces is primarily perpendicular, the plates push up forming a mountain. The Himalayan Mountains are formed by the collision of two plates and are still growing. The summit of Mount Everest is, in fact, marine limestone.
What surface feature is formed where two plates meet?
The surface feature formed when two plates meet is known as a fault. In some cases mountains can also be formed when two plates collide.
How was the mount Blanc formed?
mountains are formed through the movement of tectonic plates which form the earths crust, with the force from convection currents. as two plates move towards eachother, where they meet can be pushed up to form mountain ranges etc.
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
What is formed when two plates spread on Earth's crust?
Plates

What two tectonic plates caused Mount Unzen in Japan?
The Philippine and Eurasian plates created Mount Unzen in Japan.
Why did people live near mount Pinatubo?
The Ateas live in the edge of Mt.Pinatubo.
Where were the major volcanic eruptions since 1990?
Some major volcanic eruptions since 1990 include Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991, Mount Unzen in Japan in 1991, Mount Merapi in Indonesia in 2010, Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland in 2010, and Kilauea in Hawaii in 2018. These eruptions had significant impacts on the local environment and sometimes global climate.
