The occurrence of high-heat flows at the ridge center provides evidence of the existence of rising mantle convection currents.


The solid silicate mantle of Earth moves very slowly as a result of convection currents that transfer heat from the planet's interior to its surface. This process is known as mantle convection. The asthenosphere and the lithosphere at the surface of the Earth together make up the upper mantle.Convection currents develop in the mantle as a result of heat from the core and the mantle itself. Mantle material rises in hot columns slowly. The hotter material spreads out toward the top of the asthenosphere and pushes the colder stuff aside. This cooler substance returns to the mantle.

Volcanoes are usually formed as a result of _____.
zepelin [54]

The correct answer is - a convergent boundary, where at least one of the plates is oceanic.

Volcanoes can be formed in multiple types of interactions between the tectonic plates, but most often, they form where there's a convergent boundary between a continental and oceanic tectonic plate. This can easily be seen by the famous ''Ring of Fire'', which is on and around the borders of the Pacific Ocean, and that is due to the heavier Pacific plate subducting beneath the lighter continental plates around it, thus creating a very long chain of volcanoes.
