which type of convergent plate boundary forms continental volcanoes?
314387
Trenches mark subduction zones. The Cascades are a chain of volcanoes at a convergent boundary where an oceanic plate is subducting beneath a continental plate. Specifically the volcanoes are the result of subduction of the Juan de Fuca, Gorda, and Explorer Plates beneath North America.

The boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate in the Mediterranean Sea is a convergent boundary.

The image shows the Convergent plate boundary. Explanation: Convergent boundaries occur wherever the Earth's tectonic plates move or collide toward each other.

Think about this... Recall that there are three types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent, and transform. Volcanism occurs at convergent boundaries (subduction zones) and at divergent boundaries (mid-ocean ridges, continental rifts), but not commonly at transform boundaries.

Typically, a convergent plate boundary—such as the one between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate—forms towering mountain ranges, like the Himalaya, as Earth's crust is crumpled and pushed upward. In some cases, however, a convergent plate boundary can result in one tectonic plate diving underneath another.

Convergent boundary types include oceanic/oceanic, oceanic/continental and continental/continental.

Composite volcanoes, also known as stratovolcanoes, are found on convergent plate boundaries , where the oceanic crust subducts beneath the continental crust.

A convergent boundary is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other causing a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone.

Convergent Boundaries: A convergent boundary is an active region of deformation where 2 or more tectonic plates meet. As a result of the pressure and friction between the plates, earthquakes and volcanoes are common in these areas.

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth's mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary.

Divergent Plate Boundaries Divergent boundaries can be mid-ocean ridges or continental rift valleys. At these boundaries, two neighboring plates move away from each other. Continental rift valleys are characterized by normal faulting and basalt-rich volcanoes.

A convergent boundary showing mountain formation where one continental plate crumples up and over another continental plate. Reverse faults (or 'thrust' faults) are found at convergent boundaries. They are associated with mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas or the Andes.

When two oceanic plates collide against each other, the older and therefore heavier of the two subducts beneath the other, initiating volcanic activity in a manner similar to that which occurs at an oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary and forming a volcanic island arc.

A convergent boundary is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other causing a process known as subduction. ... Convergent boundaries occur between oceanic-oceanic lithosphere, oceanic-continental lithosphere, and continental-continental lithosphere.

The Cascade Mountain Range is a line of volcanoes above the melting oceanic plate. The Andes Mountain Range of western South America is another example of a convergent boundary between an oceanic and continental plate.
