The boundaries between two colliding plates are called .?
The boundaries between two colliding plates is called a convergent boundary. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries, a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
How does plate tectonics play a role in the formation and eruption and volcanoes?
Volcanoes and volcanic activity occurs at plate boundaries. Especially when one plate over rides another plate - convergent boundary. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
Is Mount Vesuvius near a hot spot divergent or convergent plate boundary?
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
What is Convergent Volcanism?
Convergent volcanoes are found on or near convergent boundaries. They are caused as a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
What boundary is hot spot volcano?
Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with a plate boundaries. Hot spots can drive volcanic activity all by themselves.
Why are most volcanoes located near a fault?
Most volcanoes form at either convergent or divergent plate boundaries. Volcanoes at convergent plate boundaries form when one plate slides under another, taking seawater with it. This causes the rock in the mantle to melt as the melting point drops. This new magma can rise to form volcanoes.At divergent plate boundaries the crust is thing, which lowers pressure on the mantle, causing some material to melt.
What is the relationship between the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes with regard to faults?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.
Do explosive eruptions occur more near convergent boundary or divergent boundary?
Convergent boundaries.
What is boundary for convergent?
In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.

What type of boundary form a volcanic mountain range near a coastline?
They form on convergent boundaries.
