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.
Are cinder cone volcanoes found on subduction zones?
yes
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
Where are composite volcanoes usually found-?
in the north pole during the winter months.
Where are the most explosive volcanoes subduction zones or rift zones?
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
Compare and contrast composite and shield volcanos?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
Where is andesitic magma found?
Andesitic magma is commonly found in subduction zones where oceanic crust is being forced beneath continental crust. These environments are typically associated with volcanic arcs and stratovolcanoes. Examples of where andesitic magma is found include the Andes Mountains in South America and the Cascades in the western United States.
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.
Where can subduction volcanoes be located?
In the continental side of the subduction zones and island arks.
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.
What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
