When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity this type of boundary forms what?
This type of boundary is called a convergent boundary or subduction zone, where the oceanic plate is pushed beneath the continental plate. The descending oceanic plate melts due to the heat and pressure, leading to volcanic activity and the formation of volcanic arcs.
What geologic features are associated with each type of convergent boundary?
Subduction zones, trenches and volcanic islands: the boundary that is oceanic. Trenches and volcanic islands: an oceanic-continental boundary. Folded mountain ranges: a continental and continental collision.
When A passive continental margin has a while an active margin does not.?
A passive continental margin is not tectonically active, meaning it does not experience significant geological activity like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. In contrast, an active continental margin is located near a tectonic plate boundary, leading to geological activity such as subduction zones, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
What is a oceanic continental convergent?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
Which boundary is known as a constructive boundary?
A constructive boundary is also known as a divergent boundary. It is a tectonic plate boundary where plates move away from each other, resulting in the formation of new crust through volcanic activity and the upwelling of magma from within the Earth's mantle.

Which can be produced at an ocean-continental convergent boundary?
continental volcanic arc
What is the difference between an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary and a oceanic-continental convergent boundary?
Oceanice oceanic has a trench, which is usually the deepest part of the ocean. It also has a volcanic island. That is how Islands are found in the center of oceans. oceanic convergent has similar features but do not have islands but instead volcanic arc on the continents.

A passive continental margin is not tectonically active, meaning it does not experience significant geological activity like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. In contrast, an active continental margin is located near a tectonic plate boundary, leading to geological activity such as subduction zones, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
Area of volcanic activity far from a tectonic plate boundary is called?
The area of volcanic activity far from a tectonic plate boundary is called a "hotspot." Hotspots are characterized by plumes of hot mantle material that can create volcanic islands and chains, such as the Hawaiian Islands. These volcanic activities occur independently of tectonic plate movements, often resulting in long-lived eruptions in a localized area.
What is a oceanic continental convergent?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
What is the difference between the volcanic activity that occurs at a hot spot and the volcanic activity at a subduction boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?
The hot spot volcanic activity is not dependent on the subduction and melting of oceanic crust. The hot spot simply appears to be a non-moving place in the Earth's mantle where heat rises from the interior.
Which boundary is known as a constructive boundary?
A constructive boundary is also known as a divergent boundary. It is a tectonic plate boundary where plates move away from each other, resulting in the formation of new crust through volcanic activity and the upwelling of magma from within the Earth's mantle.
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanic eruptions?
Transform boundaries do not produce volcanic activity.
