This area is located on a convergent plate boundary where oceanic crust collides with continental crust. Because the oceanic crust is more dense, it sinks into the ground and heats up. It thus becomes a volcano as it rises back to the surface. This process is known as subduction.

Answer:

The Stereographic projection is a type of map projection which would be used to locate the other side of the lake which cannot be seen.

Explanation:
