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.
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
When do earthquakes happen?

What is a subduction zone and how can you identify whether you live near one?
A subduction zone is the area where an oceanic plate is being pushed downward in a collision with a continental plate. There is usually an offshore trench and several inland volcanos whose eruptions are of the explosive type (due to trapped water in the lava). Another form of subduction zone produces island arcs containing volcanos instead of producing inland volcanos.
What is the difference in spreading center earthquakes and subduction zone?
Spreading center earthquakes are always shallow, subduction zone earthquakes can be very deep.Spreading center earthquakes are typically of lower magnitude than subduction zone earthquakes.
Is there a hot spot or a subdution zone near mount st helens?

Which mountain range forms near a subduction zone?
The Andes mountain range in South America is an example of a mountain range that forms near a subduction zone. The subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate has contributed to the uplift and formation of the Andes.
What mountain range forms near a subduction zone?
The Andes mountain range forms near a subduction zone where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate. This subduction process has resulted in the uplift of the Andes mountains over millions of years.
