It depends very much on the type of destructive plate margin. There are 3.

Oceanic plate to Oceanic plate. This type causes both. The volcano is due to magma rising The earthquakes form when one plate is subducted and tension or stress builds up due to friction. When this is released earthquakes occur. The name of the area where earthquakes occur is called the benioff zone.

This is also true of Oceanic to Continental.

Continental to Continental is different. And, i have no idea as my geology teachers have told me somehting different each time i ask. I know they produce earthquakes again due to pressure and release of said pressure. But volcanoes? I have been told both yes and no, however, i am inclined to say no.

What is the where 2 tectonic plates meet called?

a plate boundary there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries


What is the relationship between the location of fold mountain and plate boundaries?

Fold mountains are typically formed at convergent plate boundaries, where two plates collide and compress the crust, leading to the folding and uplifting of rock layers. The collisional forces cause the rocks to deform and create the characteristic fold structures seen in fold mountains. Examples of fold mountains formed at plate boundaries include the Himalayas at the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate.


What plate boundaries make mountains?

convergent


What is formed when plate boundaries collide?

Mountains.


What are somethings that convergent boundaries can create on the earth's surface?

Convergent plate boundaries are also know as destructive plate boundaries because of subduction. They are actively deforming regions where two or more tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide and form either a subduction zone or a continental collision. They form volcanoes like Mt. St. Helens, chains of volcanoes like the Pacific Ring of Fire, mountain ranges like the Cascade Mountains, and island arc with a deep oceanic trench in front like the Marina trench near the Marina Islands. The Himalayan Mountains, Southern Alps in New Zealand, Aleutian Islands, Andes Mountains, Pontic mountains in Turkey, etc. have been formed by convergent plate boundaries.

Where do fold mountains form?

At destructive collision plate boundaries eg Alps (collision of African and Eurasian plates)


What plate boundaries form mountains?

Mountains are typically formed at convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced over the other, leading to uplift and deformation of the crust. This collision can create major mountain ranges like the Himalayas or the Andes.


Are the Alps volcanoes or mountains?

They are mountains which have been raised as a result from destructive plate boundaries where the Australian-Indian plate collides with the Eurasian plate. Thus in turn as the continental crust cannot be driven downwards it is raised to form theis mountain range.

What is another name for destructive boundaries?

Another name for destructive boundaries is toxic boundaries. These are boundaries that harm rather than support individuals in relationships or interactions.


What type of plate boundary form of mountains?

Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.


Which plate boundary creates mountains?

convergent plate boundaries


What is the connection between mountains and plate boundaries?

Mountains are often formed at plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide. This collision can cause one plate to be forced upward, leading to the formation of mountains. The uplifted plate may undergo further geological processes, such as folding and faulting, which contribute to the mountain-building process.


Are there maps of plate boundaries for mt st Helen's?

Yeah there are maps for the Mt St Helens plate boundaries. Type into google Juan de Fuca plate boundaries It is a destructive plate boundary
