First, at a subduction zone, old stiff oceanic crust dives under a less dense continental plate boundary. Next, the old oceanic crust melts, becoming less dense and floating towards the top of continental crust. After many years, a build up of the molten material bursts to the surface as volcanic activity.

The point is that the sinking plate is wet and the water in the rocks facilitates a process of partial melting of the wet rocks as they begin to get warmed up again. This produces special acidic magmas which means that the volcanoes and magmas produced in the subduction zones is not the same as tcanrieenkhgengrehat produced in the constructive plate margins. the chicken is being saves by a person from the vol

What does not happen near a subduction zone?

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions do not usually happen away from a subduction zone. Subduction zones are known for their intense seismic activity and volcanic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates.


How did the barren island volcano form?

The Barren Island volcano is located near a subduction zone, where a section of Earth's oceanic crust slips into the mantle, bringing some water with it. The water alters the chemistry of the hot rock of the mantle, allowing it to melt. This molten rock has risen to form volcanoes, including the one on Barren Island.
