What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?

Answer 1

Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire.

A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.

Answer 2

A composite volcano is typically found at convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate is pushed beneath another in a process known as subduction. The melting of the subducted plate creates magma that rises to the surface and forms the volcano.

Answer 3

The textbook answer would be that they are found at subduction zones, a type of convergent boundary. In reality it varies. Most composite volcanoes are indeed found at subduction zones, but there are some found at divergent boundaries, such as in the East African Rift, and some found at hot spots, such as in the Canary Islands.

Answer 4

Composite volcanoes are found along subductive plate boundaries.

Answer 5

Composite volcanoes are most often associated with convergent plate boundaries, specifically subduction zone, but some have been noted at divergent boundaries and hot spots.

Answer 6

They form at divergent boundary and at the Ring Of Fire

Answer 7

Subduction zones
