Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries occur when oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates, creating deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries occur when two oceanic plates collide, leading to one plate subducting beneath the other and forming volcanic island arcs.
Yes, some volcanic mountains are located on convergent boundaries where oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates or other oceanic plates. The subduction process generates intense heat and pressure, leading to the melting of rock and the formation of magma that eventually erupts as volcanoes.
Convergent boundaries are classified according to the type of tectonic plates involved. There are three main types of convergent boundaries: oceanic-continental, oceanic-oceanic, and continental-continental. The classification is based on whether the plates involved are oceanic or continental and the resulting geological features that are formed.
At divergent boundaries, plates move apart from each other, creating new crust. At convergent boundaries, plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other, leading to subduction or mountain formation. At transform boundaries, plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes.
Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.
volcanic mountains
Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries form mountains with a volcanic origin, such as the Andes in South America. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries create volcanic island arcs, like the Japanese archipelago.
Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries occur when oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates, creating deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries occur when two oceanic plates collide, leading to one plate subducting beneath the other and forming volcanic island arcs.
The three categories of convergent boundaries are oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries result in volcanic island arcs. Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries create volcanic mountain ranges. Continental-continental convergent boundaries give rise to large mountain ranges.
Yes, some volcanic mountains are located on convergent boundaries where oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates or other oceanic plates. The subduction process generates intense heat and pressure, leading to the melting of rock and the formation of magma that eventually erupts as volcanoes.
Volcanic mountains commonly form along plate boundaries, specifically at subduction zones where oceanic plates sink beneath continental plates or other oceanic plates. They can also form at divergent boundaries where plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise to the surface and create volcanic activity.
At plate boundaries.

Convergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates hit each other. This can cause earthquakes, but can also create mountains.
Subduction (where one plate is forced beneath another less dense plate - may occur at oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental boundaries), obduction (where oceanic plate is forced over a continental plate) and orogenesis where two continental plates collide and mountains are formed (e.g. the Himalayas).
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
