What is a Subduction Zone? A subduction zone happens only at convergent boundaries, where two plates collide. In this process, one plate sinks below the other. These zones are very active. The pressure and friction from the collision are strong enough to melt some of the Earth's material, ...

Island arcs are chains of volcanoes that are caused by partial melting of the plate at a subduction zone. They are called arcs because they are typically curved, convex towards the ocean basin and trench.What Is an Island Arc? Volcanic island arcs are major structures of ocean basin features...

continental plate. As anticipated, owing to its higher density, the oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate. Similar to oceanic-oceanic convergence, the subduction zone generates heat that can cause the subducting plate to melt and trigger the release of water trapped within the ...
Formation of forearc basins by collision between seamounts and accretionary wedges: An example from the New Hebrides subduction zone The Central Costa Rican Pacific margin is characterized by a high-seismicity rate, coincident with the subduction of rough-relief ocean floor and has gener...

A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is a cone-shaped volcano made of layers of lava, ash, and other material that come from the volcano's main opening. These volcanoes are usually found where one tectonic plate is sliding under another, called a subduction zone. Examples of...
The heavy plates are pushed below the new and light plates, and this push causes the indent to occur, a process called subduction and can create a subduction zone. This is a type of convergent plate boundary meaning where plates converge, which is one of three processes when plates come tog...
