Which plate boundary and movement commonly create volcanoes that can result in the development of habitable islands?
these nuts
What type of boundary is along ocean ridges?
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
Do hot spots create or destroy oceanic or continental crust?
Create
What type of boundary can create a trench?
"subduction"
What process forms island arcs?
Island arcs are formed from the subduction and melting of oceanic crust as it descends into the mantle underneath a less dense oceanic crust at a convergent plate boundary. The subduction results in the creation of undersea volcanoes which then rise above sea level. The resulting volcanoes create a string of islands called an island arc. The curve of an island arc echoes the curve of its deep-ocean trench.
What type of plate boundaries create mt fuji?
Mt. Fuji is located in Japan. It is near a continental convergent boundary, a continental transform boundary, and an oceanic transform boundary.

What are 3 kinds of mountains that may be formed by the movement of tetonic plates?
Below are the 3 types of plate boundaries, not collisions. I'm not sure myself what the correct answer is, but I know that this is incorrect.The three are divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries.The types of collisions are oceanic-oceanic which create Mt Pinatubi, oceanic-continental which create Mt. St. Helens, continental-continental which create the Himalayas, oceanic-oceanic which create the Ring of Fire and the transform boundary which is like the San Andreas Fault.
What happens along a divergent boundary between two oceanic plates?
A rift valley, volcano, earthquake, trench.
What type of boundary is along ocean ridges?
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
Convergent plate boundary motion?
continent-continent move together colliding making a mountain ocean-ocean or ocean-continent move together also but oceanic crust is denser so it will subduct and create a trench and one oceanic crust will be denser most likely than the other so it will also subduct and create a trench
What is the name of the chain of volcanoes that form at an oceanic to oceanic plate boundary?
When there is oceanic-oceanic convergence, one layer of oceanic lithosphere is subducted. This not only introduces water, which lowers the melting temperature of the asthenosphere, but can create an island with a volcano. This occurs when the hot magma rises from the subduction zone and build up in size. This would not have any specific name. If the volcano was situated on a hot spot, however, it would form linear island chains.
Do hot spots create or destroy oceanic or continental crust?
Create
What plate boundary and movement commonly create ridges?
the magma cool and then it becomes a solid and that solid will then become a plate tectonic
What type of boundary dose not create or destroy crust?
transform boundary
What create a valley?
Divergent boundary!
Which boundary am i when plates collide into each other i can create mountains?
A destructive plate boundary.
