What types of plate boundaries have subduction zone?

Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.

How do earthquakes and valcanoes form?

An earthquake is formed when two plates rub agents or hit each other. One of the plates will have to go under the other plate. Valcanoes are formed when there is so much pressure in them then the magma will come out but when the magma comes out we call it lava. If you are not fare enough away from the lava it can kill you, it will distroy or kill anything in it's path.


How do shield valcanoes form?

What is a continental arc system?

These arc systems form at collision plate margins where an oceanic plate is being subducted under a continental plate. As the oceanic plate melts, the magma rises and finds cracks in the continental plate above and creates volcanoes. These volcanoes occur all the way along this plate margin. For example the cascade volcanic arc on the north west coast of USA.


What is the constructive uses of earthquake?

There are very few constructive uses for an earthquake. One use is that an earthquake allows plate margins to form, however the destruction clearly outweighs any advantages.


Why do volcanoes occur at constructive plate margins and subduction zones?

Because the subducting plate is water saturated oceanic crust, and as it moves down into the mantle it vaporizes the water and forces steam upwards. At the same time, the descending plate causes friction and circulation, leading to pressure-release melting. All of these processes melt the upper mantle to form magma chambers and thus, volcanoes.


What does conservative plate margin mean?

Naval architecture : Margin plate are those plate which form the outer edge of the double bottom and must be water tight. In welded type ship it has sometimes flanged, but it has become common practice to extend the inner bottom plating and to attach it to the top of tank side bracket.
