Question
a line of volcanoes will form above a ____________ convergent divergent transform subduction zone
When one tectonic plate is forced beneath another in a subduction zone, melting occurs in the mantle above the subducting plate. The magma that forms rises to the surface and can create a line of volcanoes. Convergent boundaries include subduction zones but also other types where plates collide without subduction. Divergent boundaries are where plates move apart and form mid - ocean ridges, not typically lines of volcanoes like this. Transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other and don't usually result in this type of volcanic formation.
