Continental crust (Eurasian Plate) and oceanic crust (pacific plate) move towards each other, oceanic crust sinks because its denser, this forms deep sea trenches and volcanoes
Japan sits on top of a destructive plate margin.
Krakatoa is located on a destructive plate margin where the Indo-Australian plate subducts beneath the Eurasian plate. This subduction zone has led to the formation of volcanic islands in the region, including Krakatoa.
was pompei on a destructive margin
Destructive(collisional) plate margin/boundary
They do not JUST happen in Japan, but they are common there because the Japanese islands are situated right next to a very active destructive plate margin.
A coastline. a destructive plate margin.
Yes, Mount Unzen is located on a destructive plate margin, specifically where the Philippine Sea Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. This tectonic activity is responsible for the volcanic activity in the region, as the subducting plate melts and generates magma. Mount Unzen is known for its explosive eruptions, which are typical of volcanoes associated with subduction zones.
Mount Etna is located on a destructive plate boundary, where the African Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. The melting of the subducted plate generates magma that rises to the surface, leading to volcanic activity at Mount Etna.
Ur mummas plate
Niether. Kilauea is in the middle of the Pacific plate, thousands of miles from the nearest plate boundary. The volcanic activty is due to a hot spot.
Yes, the Kobe earthquake occurred along a destructive plate boundary where the Philippine Sea Plate subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. This resulted in intense shaking and significant damage to infrastructure in the region.
Britain is not located on a destructive plate margin and the ring of fire is an ocean and a continent away.
