Volcanoes are formed when at least one of the plates colliding is a oceanic plate. The denser oceanic plate is forced underneath the less dense plate (usually continental) and starts to melt as it gets deeper into the Earth's core. Because the oceanic plate has water in it, the water turns into steam which then forces the melted plate back towards Earth's surface in the form of lava, creating a volcano.
What else can I help you with?
What feature would you find around converging tectonic plates?
Around converging tectonic plates, you would find features such as mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs. These features are a result of the intense forces created by the plates colliding and interacting with each other.
What can result from the action of plates at a converging boundary?
At a converging boundary, plates can collide and create subduction zones. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and earthquakes. The pressure and friction from the plates can also cause volcanic activity.
How do mountain building and volcanoes relate to plate motion at converge NT boundaries?
they are both formed by converging plates at a BOUNDARY THAT PUSH UP THE EARTH
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
What does it mean when three plates are moving together?
it means that they are converging

What are two Ways volcanoes Form near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.

How do mountain building and volcanoes relate to plate motion at converge NT boundaries?

Do volcanoes form on diverging or converging plate boundaries more?
Most are found on converging
What types of tectonic force create mountains?
The type of tectonic forces that create mountains are called converging plates. As two continental plates push together, the stress forces them both upwards. Because of this the Himalayas are still growing.
What type of landforms might a convergent boundary create?
Landforms that could be created at convergent boundaries would include: volcanoes, mountains, trenches, volcanic islands, and even deserts could result from the effects of converging boundaries.the landforms are mountains
How do converging boundaries move?
The plates come together
How are volcanoes created at the Mid-Atlantic ridge?
Volcanoes are created in the Mid-Atlantic ridge from plates in the ocean floor. The plates shift causing new magma to be able to be released from the earth which in return form the new volcano.
What causes volcanoes to form at spreading boundaries?
Please make the question clearer. There are converging and diverging boundaries but not spreading boundaries. Plates move but don't spread. Please make the question clearer
Do plates pulling apart cause volcanoes?
no but coliding plates create volcanoes
