Is Cleveland volcano a result of subduction?

Yes. All the Aleutian volcanoes are the result of subduction.


Did japan form as a result of subduction or a hot spot?

Japan formed as a result of a subduction zone.


When plates collide what forms above the subduction zone?

When plates collide, one plate is typically forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This can create mountain ranges, volcanic arcs, and deep ocean trenches above the subduction zone as a result of the intense geological activity generated by the collision and subduction of the plates.


What forms at a subduction zone?

Volcanic arcs and oceanic trenches commonly form at subduction zones.


What forms during oceanic-subduction?

Rift valleys


what happens to a convergent boundary?

a subduction zone forms


What type of plate collision does not result in subduction of one plate under the other?

A divergent boundary does not result in the subduction of one plate under the other.


What material forms most mountains at subduction zones?

The material that forms most mountains at subduction zones is volcanic rock. This is because subduction zones are where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, melting and creating magma that eventually forms volcanic mountains when it erupts.


What forms on overriding plates at a subduction zone?

mountain or volcanoe


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.
