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.
Yes. All the Aleutian volcanoes are the result of subduction.
Japan formed as a result of a 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.
A divergent boundary does not result in the subduction of one plate under the other.

When two plates move together (at least one must be oceanic crust), one will sink beneath the other. The result is that a subduction zone forms between the two plates at the location where they meet.

Volcanic arcs and oceanic trenches commonly form at subduction zones.

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

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.
