Question
the diagram shows a formation of a subduction zone as two tectonic plates collide. what will be the most likely formation at location y? island lake plateau volano
At a sub - duction zone where an oceanic plate (Plate 1) subducts beneath a continental plate (Plate 2), magma can rise to the surface. Location Y is on the continental side near the sub - duction zone. Magma rising from the subduction process commonly leads to the formation of volcanoes. Islands are more common in oceanic - oceanic subduction zones, lakes are not typical formations at subduction zones, and plateaus are not directly formed due to subduction at this scale and location.
