Which of the above boundaries can produce volcanoes?
kykrilka [37]
Convergent boundaries or destructive plate boundary due to subduction, is an actively deforming area where two or more tectonic plates of the lithosphere move towards one another and collide. As an effect of pressure, plate material and friction melting in the mantle, volcanoes and earthquakes are common near convergent boundaries. Subduction or continental collision is created when two plates move towards one another, depending on the nature of the involved plates. During these collisions (between two continental plates) Himalayas and large mountain ranges are formed.
