What is another interesting fact about the San Andreas Fault? How many earthquakes does California have every year? What types of volcanoes do subduction zones have? A volcano's ______ determines it's temperament (how it will behave). Many volcanoes erupt along subduction zones where the most violent volcanoes formed. What are these layered cones called? What types of volcanoes are the result of non-explosive hot spot eruptions like at Hawaii? Convergent Ocean plate - Ocean plate with subduction with violent Composite Volcanoes, also known as S______ Volcanoes (or Composite Volcanoes). Hot Spot: a super - heated part of the mantle not always found at a plate boundary. What forms here? Very mild S_____ Volcanoes. Convergent Ocean Plate Subducting Under a Continental Plate (O-C): What things form here? Deep t_______. Convergent Ocean Plates Subducting Under a Continental Plate (O-C): Are these mountains volcanic? ________. The most exciting plate boundary to visit has the process of subduction, where one plate goes under the other. This is a type of __________ boundary. A description of how Composite Volcanoes are formed is... Composite volcanoes are exciting and explosive because... Death rates near Composite volcanoes are? The places where composite volcanoes are called _________ boundaries where old crust and water goes down into the ________, causing it to be heated. The great heat and pressure of a plate going under another plate causes _______________. Where these kinds of areas are we have an ocean plate or an ocean plate undergoing a ______________ plate. All of this pressure causes ______ eruptions and is kind of "plate" that you will want to visit for your thrill-seeking vacation!
