Answer:

On subduction zones

Explanation:

Explosives volcanoes are most likely to be found on subduction plate boundaries where one plate subducts (goes under) another plate. The subducting plate is usually a plate  made of denser oceanic crust and the upper plate usually consists of less dense continental crust. Because of the composition of the magma and the high silica content found in the continental crust, these eruptions are much more explosive than the gentler basaltic flows characteristics of oceanic hotspot eruptions or undersea divergent plate boundaries.

Answer:

Above subduction zones

Explanation

Most explosive eruptions occur in volcanoes above subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives beneath the other. Eighty to 120 kilometers below the surface, magma forms when the rocks of the mantle melt just above the subducting plate.

What happens when an oceanic plate converges with any other plate?
Marat540 [252]
When two oceanic plates converge, the denser plate will end up sinking below the less dense plate, leading to the formation of an oceanic subduction zone. Old, dense crust tends to be subduction back into the earth.

Why would it be difficult to prove that a climate graph you know comes from the Cordillera region actually comes from this regio
qwelly [4]
For the given situation above, I think there is a lack of information regarding the one you posted. Here is what I got about the Cordillera Region.

The word Cordillera is actually a Spanish word that means mountain ranges. The climate is warm and temperate in Cordillera. Cordillera has a significant amount of rainfall during the year. This is true even for the driest month. The average annual temperature in Cordillera is 21.2 °C. The average annual rainfall is 1431 mm.
