When a denser plate, such as the oceanic plate, sub ducts under another plate, either a continental or oceanic plate, the subducted plate will melt under extreme temperatures in the mantle. This will form cracks in the plates, which results in magma flowing out from the mantle through the cracks in the plate
What else can I help you with?
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.
Do most volcanoes form near colliding plate boundaries?
Most volcanoes do form near colliding plate boundaries where subduction occurs, such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. However, volcanoes can also form in other geologic settings, such as hotspots and rift zones.
What are the landforms that you call volcanoes created by?
Volcanoes are primarily created by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. When these plates shift or collide, it can result in magma being forced to the surface through openings in the Earth's crust, creating a volcano. The magma then solidifies to form the various structures of a volcano, such as a cone or caldera.
The boundaries between two colliding plates are called .?
The boundaries between two colliding plates is called a convergent boundary. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries, a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
Is It true or false that most volcanoes form near colliding plate boundary's?
true
Are most volcanoes formed near colliding plate boundaries?
... Yes that is exactly where they form and the most dangerous volcanoes are formed in this area by wide opening, colliding plates.
What would happen if plates kept on colliding?
earthquakes and volcanoes
What can colliding plates form?
an earthquake
How do the plates move to form volcanoes?
The tectonic plates move divergent when they move away from each other, convergent when they are colliding with each other, and trasform when they slide past each other.
Do volcanoes form from barrier islands?
No. Volcanoes form either as a result of tectonic plates colliding or pulling apart, or from plumes of hot material in the mantle. Barrier islands are usually sedimentary features and are not related to volcanic activity.
What landform resulting from 2 continental plates colliding together?
Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.
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.
Do volcanoes form near colliding plate boundaries?
yes
Do most volcanoes form near colliding plate boundaries?
Most volcanoes do form near colliding plate boundaries where subduction occurs, such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. However, volcanoes can also form in other geologic settings, such as hotspots and rift zones.
What is colliding boundary?
these boundaries are formed when two plates collide. When the two plate bump one plate is absorbed in the mantle of the other. Heat and pressure when these plates collide causes volcanoes and earthquakes.
What happens at colliding boundries?
subduction happens and mountains and volcanoes form
Where do volcanoes mostly form?
Volcanoes usually form where tectonic plates meet.
