Plates can converge, diverge or slide past each other. Chains of volcanoes along coastlines are evidence of plates converging with one plate subducting beneath the other. The subducting plate will melt producing magma which is lighter than surrounding rock and so will force its way through cracks and fissures in the surface. Once magma reaches the earth's surface, volcanoes are formed.
