A destructive plate boundary is where a continental plate meets an oceanic plate. The oceanic plate descends under the continental plate because it is denser. As the oceanic plate it starts to subduct (melt) due to friction caused by the movement. Then, the melted plate turns to magma and the volcano is formed.
A destructive plate boundary may also be formed between Oceanic plates and Continental plates. Japan is an example of two oceanic plates colliding against each other and an example of two continental plates colliding is the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plate.
At a destructive plate boundary, two tectonic plates move towards each other. One plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic activity, and earthquakes due to the intense pressure and friction generated along the boundary.
First, one slides under the other and starts to melt when the submerging crust reaches its melting point(the temperature at which the minerals/types of rocks/etc that make up the crust start to melt at); but they melt sooner & at lower temperatures/lower pressures/etc when there's water in the crust. It also melts because of the heavy tectonic plate/bodies of water/etc above it; even though pressure & immense weight tries to fight against the heating up & melting of crust, super hot magma(lava below the surface of the crust) in the Earth's interior, etc(since heating up an object, gas, liquid, etc usually means that it's going to expand,or try to at least). That melted magma melts part of the plate above it and can rise upward. It usually creates a magma chamber that can then erupt as a volcano. Sometimes it hardens before reaching the surface and becomes a dike(magma punching up through crustal layers perpendicular to the layer) or sill(lava melting upward through the crust & then moving outwards horizontally in between crustal layers). That's another story, though. Second, colliding tectonic plates rarely get stuck without either one going sideways(?) or one going under the other, but for all we know it could have happened at some point in the Earth's past or an alien world's past. Two plates stuck in place pressing evenly & directly against one another. I don't know what happens after that. Third, sometimes when tectonic plates goes under another one, it can get stuck. It stays there for a certain amount of time; depending on its composition, properties, the direction it's going, how strong the crust is, the crust's history, the status of the crust above it, etc. It continues being pushed under & against the overlying rock. As it does; it starts to get stressed/etc. Plus, the power/energy/etc within the crust starts to build & it keeps building until something gives. Eventually, one of the plates can't hold its ever-growing amount of energy and it suddenly slips into a new nearby(?) position. The energy that's suddenly released is like a a bull whip(?) being whipped. This energy causes the earthquakes that we know so well. The longer crust remains stuck, the strong the earthquake is going to be.
One of the convergent plates will be subducted and destroyed at a convergent boundary. In other words, one of the plates will slide beneath the other plate. Then it will melt and become magma, which destroys that part of the plate. As the plates continue to converge, that plate will continue to slide under the other plate and, little by little, it will be destroyed.
Of course, on that melting plate, (at its divergent boundary), new plate is being created so it is growing on one side and melting on the other side. So, in the long run, the plate isn't so much destroyed as it is recycled.
A convergent plate boundary occurs between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the formation of the Andes mountain range.
The type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another is called a convergent boundary. This process is known as subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other due to differences in density.
A boundary where two plates meet and collide forming mountains is called a convergent boundary. It is also known as destructive plate boundary.
Mount Merapi is a convergent boundary type, specifically a subduction zone where the Indo-Australian Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction has led to the explosive volcanic activity and frequent eruptions characteristic of Mount Merapi.
Krakatau is located on a destructive plate boundary, where the Indo-Australian Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. The subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate has led to volcanic activity in the region, including the eruption of Krakatau.
It is a destructive plate boundary ;)
Destructive plate boundary.
No, Iceland is on a constructive plate boundary.
Mount Vesuvius is located on a destructive plate boundary. It is situated on the boundary where the African Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction process is what causes volcanic activity in the area.
there the same
Mount Pinatubo is on a destructive plate boundary; it is above a subduction zone
Its to do with the viscosity of the lava, the thicker (more viscous) the lava the slower and less far it will travel making a shield volcano. This happens on a constructive plate boundary. on a destructive plate boundary the lava is less viscous and runs further making a conical shaped volcano
It is a convergent/destructive plate boundary.
a destructive plate boundary
Destructive(collisional) plate margin/boundary
Mount Pelee is located on the destructive plate boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. This boundary is characterized by subduction, where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another, resulting in volcanic activity like what is seen at Mount Pelee.
