Subduction zones involve an oceanic plate sliding beneath either a continental plateor another oceanic plate (that is, the subducted plate is always oceanic while the subducting plate may or may not be oceanic). Subduction zones are often noted for their high rates of volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building. This is because subduction processes result in melt of the mantle that produces a volcanic arc as relatively lighter rock is forcibly submerged.
What else can I help you with?
Where are the most explosive volcanoes subduction zones or rift zones?
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
Why do subduction volcanoes erupt continuously?
They don't. Few, if any volcanoes in the world do. The volcanoes, especially at subduction zones, will often go dormant for years and even centuries without erupting.
Is Cleveland volcano a result of subduction?
Yes. All the Aleutian volcanoes are the result of subduction.
Is Shield volcanoes found along subduction zones?
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
Is mount Cleveland a subduction zone?
Moun Cleveland formed as a result of a subduction zone, but is not a subduction zone in and of itself. A subduction zone is a feature that forms volcanoes, not a kind of volcano.
Where are the most explosive volcanoes subduction zones or rift zones?
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.
Where can subduction volcanoes be located?
In the continental side of the subduction zones and island arks.
Why do subduction volcanoes erupt continuously?
They don't. Few, if any volcanoes in the world do. The volcanoes, especially at subduction zones, will often go dormant for years and even centuries without erupting.
Where is subduction volcanoes found?
On a destructive margin

Why are there few volcanoes in the Himalaya?
There is no subduction occurring.

Where are most shield volcanoes?
along subduction-related arcs
Which two geological features are associated with subduction?
trenches and volcanoes
Are cinder cone volcanoes found on subduction zones?
yes
