What is the name of the chain of volcanoes that form at an oceanic to oceanic plate boundary?

When there is oceanic-oceanic convergence, one layer of oceanic lithosphere is subducted. This not only introduces water, which lowers the melting temperature of the asthenosphere, but can create an island with a volcano. This occurs when the hot magma rises from the subduction zone and build up in size. This would not have any specific name. If the volcano was situated on a hot spot, however, it would form linear island chains.

What is volcanic island arc?
I think its a chain of volcanoes form when oceanic crust subducts beneath other oceanic crust on an adjacent plate. Hope this helps (:
What is the patteren between Ayelu and Likaiu volcanoes?
both volcanoes are located near the African plate boundary
What are the two plate boundary volcanoes located in the northwest US?
The two plate boundaries are the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American Plate.
What kind of tectonic plate boundary do you think the Philippines are located?
My best answer that my college teacher taught me is in the oceanic plate.HOPE THIS HELPED! : D
What is the plate boundary of Galeras Volcano?
Galeras Volcano is formed along Nazca and South American plates. It is a convergent boundary and is oceanic-continental. If you need more info. Go to geology.com
What kind of plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes?
The Transform plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes - Professer Humifiken
What kind of plate boundary has the most explosive volcanoes?
Convergent with the oceanic plate subducting under the continental plate.
What type of plate boundary triggers the formation of active volcanoes as magma rises beneath the surface?
Oceanic-to-Oceanic plate boundary triggers the formation of active volcanoes as magma rises beneath the surface.Transform plate boundaries trigger the formation of active volcanoes as magma rises beneath the surface.
What plate boundary are volcanoes formed at?
Volcanoes can form at three places-1. Divergent boundaries2. Convergent boundaries (oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental)2. Above hot spots
What type of boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate?
a convergent boundary. The oceanic plate is then subducted under the continental plate because it is denser. This subduction creates earthquakes and volcanoes
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
Which type of plate boundary is associated with volcanoes on land?
Volcanoes on continents can develop at path convergent and divergent boundaries. They can occur where an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate, producing a volcanic arc such as in the Cascade Range. Volcanoes can also occur in areas of rifting, such as Africa's Great Rift Valley, a developing divergent boundary. Where two oceanic plates converge volcanoes can develop underwater and eventually form volcanic islands. Volcanoes can also develop away from a plate boundary over a hot spot.
What is a string of volcanoes along an ocean to ocean convergent boundary?
A chain of volcanoes is called a volcanic arc.
What is continental volcanic arc?
I think its a chain of volcanoes form when oceanic crustsubducts beneath other oceanic crust on an adjacent plate. . (:
The cascade range volcanoes are associated with which type of plate boundary?
convergent oceanic oceanic
What are the 3 subtypes of convergent plate boundaries?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
What are the three sub types of convergent plate boundrys?
