Question

Which feature would you expect to find where an oceanic plate converges (collides) with a continental plate? Write your letter choice in the space provided. a. ocean trench b. sea floor spreading c. continental volcanoes d. earthquakes e. all except b Magma is not found everywhere beneath the crust. At subduction zones, the addition of what widespread arid abundant ingredient into the mantle region promotes magma formation there? a. limestone b. carbon dioxide c. water d. sand Mona Loa is a gently sloped, shield volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Mount Rainier is a steep sided, potentially explosive stratovolcaneo in the state of Washington. Why are stratovoleanoes steeper and more explosive than shield volcanoes? This question is about the shapes of volcanoes. In order to avoid duplication in your answers, read question 14 before answering this question. The Cascade Range is a long series of stratovolcanoes that extends from Mount Lassen in northern California through the states of Oregon and Washington. These are considered active volcanoes, although none are erupting at the moment. Use plate tectonics theory to briefly explain why there are active volcanoes in this region of North America. Include in your answer the names of the specific lithosphere plates involved at this location. (For this answer, there is no need to explain the difference between shield volcanoes and stratovolcanoes.)

Explanation / Answer

11) answer ) option c) continental volcanoes

Reason : Oceanic and continental plate collisions result in mountain and volcano formation.

The formation of volcanoes is a result of the subduction of the oceanic crust ,as the oceanic crust gets forced deeper into the Earth due to which the increasing heat and pressure releases trapped water and gases, the combing effect of which is the crust melting to form magma .Thus accumulation of magma forms volcanoes
