Under the Mediterranean Sea the African Plate is colliding with the Eurasian plate. A portion of the African Plate is slipping under the Eurasian plate, taking seawater with it. The seawater seeps into the superheated rock of the mantle, allowing some of it to melt. The magma then rises through the crust to form volcanoes.
