What can form above subduction zones?
I think it would be shield volcanoes because it was it!
Where do large number of volcanoes form?
Volcanoes Form at Active Subduction Zones or in the ring of fire
A composite volcano is most likely to form where?
Composite volcanoes most often form near subduction zones.
What rock would probably form if magma that was feeding volcanoes above subduction zones solidified at consideration depth?
Plutonic or intrusive igneous rock
Are earths active volcanoes scattered randomly?
Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.
Why do volcanoes form above subduction zones?
magma forms in mantle above slab

What volcanoes form at spreading zones?
composite volcanoes

Are shield volcanoes hot spots?
Shield volcanoes are not hot spots but they are associated with them. However, such volcanoes can also form at rift zones.
Are earths active volcanoes scattered randomly?
Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.
What kind of volcanoes form along subduction zones?
Usually composite volcanoes. subduction zone volcanos usually form steep sided composite cones composed primarily of andesite
Do composite volcanoes form at subduction?
Usually, yes. Occasionally, though they can form in rift zones or at continental hotspots.
What are 5 different places that volcanoes form?
Volcanoes form above plumes or "hot spots." The plate moves over this location, making a chain of volcanoes like Hawaii. Volcanoes also form around subduction zones. One plate moves under another, causing the the edges of the plate to melt making volcanoes, islands, and mountains. Volcanoes can also lie over magma chambers that have lava that leaked from the lithosphere into the crust.
Are volcanoes scattered randomly or concentrated in zones?
Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.
