Question
which model represents volcanoes forming by subduction
plate models yes
Volcanoes form via subduction when a denser oceanic plate is pushed under a less dense continental plate. As the oceanic plate sinks, it melts, creating magma that rises to form volcanoes. The second model shows this oceanic-continental subduction process with volcanoes forming on the continental plate. The other models show continental-continental divergence, continental-continental collision, and oceanic-oceanic divergence, which do not create volcanoes via subduction in this context.
