Volcanic activity is largely absent where two continental blocks collide because the collision results in the formation of mountain ranges rather than the subduction of one plate beneath another, which is necessary for magma generation. The continental crust is too buoyant to be subducted easily, preventing the melting of rock that typically leads to volcanic eruptions. Instead, the intense pressure and deformation create fold mountains and seismic activity without significant volcanic activity.
