At a convergent plate boundary an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate or another oceanic plate. The subducting plate takes volatiles such as water with it. These volatiles lower the melting point of the mantle rock. Molten material then rises to the surface, forming volcanoes. This is the most common cause of volcanoes on continents. Those that form from the sea floor often rise up to form volcanic islands. In truth, most of the world's volcanoes probably occur at divergent boundaries. However, the vast majority of those remain deep underwater where they are difficult to observe.
What else can I help you with?
When a new volcano is discovered what type of plate interaction is most likely cause of the volcano?
Lateral movement of the tectonic plates is the interaction that is the most likely cause of the volcano. The outermost shell of the planet is broken up into tectonic plates.
What type of plate interaction is most likely cause of the volcano?
convergent plate interaction
Is a hot spot under the ocean floor is most likely to cause an earthquake?
no a volcano
What type of plate interaction is the most likely cause of the volcano?
The most likely cause of a volcano is a convergent plate boundary, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another in the process of subduction. This movement melts rock and generates magma, which can rise to the surface and erupt as a volcano.
Where are you most likely to see a volcano erupting?
Near a volcano
What volcano is the best super volcano?
The best super volcano is most likely the "hidden" volcano in Yellowstone park.
Which category of volcano is most likely to erupt in the near future?
An active volcano
What is a volcano most likely made of?
basalt
What physical feature is the most likely to erupt?
A volcano.
Where is a volcano most likely to erupt in the US?
Hawaii.
What type of volcano is the Volcano in a Corn Field?
This most likely refers to Paricutin, which is a cinder cone.
What geological feature is most likely to be produced by the plume?
A volcano.
