Detailed explanation-1: -The volcanoes produced by subduction zone volcanism are typically stratovolcanoes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stratovolcanoes. Composite volcanoes or stratovolcanoes are the most common type of noted volcanic edifices, and they occur in all regions of volcanic activity and throughout the world. However, they are particularly frequent in subduction zones, for example, along the circum-Pacific belt of convergent plate margins.
Detailed explanation-3: -These plates collide, slide past, and move apart from each other. Where they collide and one plate is thrust beneath another (a subduction zone), the most powerful earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and landslides occur.
Detailed explanation-4: -Volcanic Arc Earthquakes and volcanoes are very common on subduction zone boundaries. Many of the Earth’s earthquakes are located at subduction zones, including the largest earthquakes ever generated. Tsunamis and volcanoes are also commonly generated at subduction zones.
