Question
what type of volcano is formed by the melting of a tectonic plate as the plate descends beneath another, resulting in volcanic activity at convergent boundaries? a subduction volcano b rift volcano c hotspot volcano d extinct volcano
Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate descends beneath another at convergent boundaries, leading to melting and volcanic activity. This process forms subduction volcanoes. Rift volcanoes form at divergent boundaries, hotspot volcanoes are due to mantle plumes, and extinct volcanoes have no recent activity.
