What else can I help you with?
Where are the most explosive volcanoes subduction zones or rift zones?
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
Where are volcanoes that erupt in both ways?
The volcanoes that erupt both ways are located on or near boundaries between oceanic and continental crust over subduction zones.
Near what geologic structures are most of Earth's explosive volcanoes located?
Most explosive volcanism is located at oceanic to continental subduction zones.
Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.
Why volcanoes is located at Iceland?
because iceland is one of the countries on the tectonic plate si itz part of a subduction zone :)
Why do subduction volcanoes erupt continuously?
They don't. Few, if any volcanoes in the world do. The volcanoes, especially at subduction zones, will often go dormant for years and even centuries without erupting.
Is Cleveland volcano a result of subduction?
Yes. All the Aleutian volcanoes are the result of subduction.
Where is subduction volcanoes found?
On a destructive margin
Is Shield volcanoes found along subduction zones?
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
Which Volcanoes are not located along a subduction zone?
If two plates converge and one goes under the other (subduction), then volcanoes can form at the point where the bottom plate is furthest into the area under the top plate, but this is sort of on plate boundaries. If a hot spot (abnormally hot area in the mantle under the crust) is in the center of a plate, it can still send up magma and cause volcanoes. A great example of this is the Hawaiian islands, which are in the center of the Pacific plate.
What percentage of volcanoes appear on continental crust?
Approximately 80% of volcanoes are located on continental crust, with the remaining 20% found on oceanic crust. This distribution is due to the presence of subduction zones and hotspots primarily located on continental plates.
How arelassen peak and mt shaSTA related to subduction?
Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak are both volcanoes located in the Cascade Range in California. These volcanoes are related to subduction because they are situated above the subduction zone where the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate is being forced beneath the North American plate. This subduction process creates magma chambers beneath the Earth's crust, leading to volcanic activity in the region.
