Volcanoes at the boundaries where two oceanic plates collide will create a string of islands called an archipelago. An archipelago is also linked by land areas that are below the sea.

What landforms do oceanic-oceanic boundaries form?
Volcanoes and island arcs
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
What happens when two crusts collide?
When two crustal plates are in the process of collision they deform, the results of which vary:continental-continental, large mountain building (e.g. asia-india building the himalayas)oceanic-oceanic, island arc building with volcanic islands (e.g. the Japanese islands)oceanic-continental, subduction of oceanic plate under continental plate with inland volcanoes (e.g. volcanoes in Washington, Oregon, and northern California)
What plate causes volcanoes?
What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.
Why are continental volcanoes associated with oceanic continental convergent boundaries?
cool
What are two ways volcanoes can forms near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
What are two Ways volcanoes Form near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
How did Alfred Wegener explain mountain formations?
He said that it was due to plate tectonics, a theory which he is famous for. Two plates, either continental-continental, oceanic-continental or oceanic-oceanic collide at plate boundaries, causing an uplift of land. The oceanic plate or the denser plate will subduct. These uplifts will result in the formation of mountains, mountain ranges, volcanoes and islands.
What landforms do oceanic-oceanic boundaries form?
Volcanoes and island arcs
What do two oceanic plates that collide form?
eigther volcanoes or mountains
What are formed when two oceanic plates collide?
volcanoes in an island arc
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
What are three major islands arcs?
Island arcs are also called oceanic arcs. Many volcanoes form near converging plate boundaries where subduction occurs. Subduction causes slabs of oceanic crust to sink beneath a deep-ocean trench into the mantle. The crust melts and forms magma, which then rises back toward the surface. Volcanoes form when the magma erupts as lava. At the boundary where two oceanic plates collide, volcanoes can create a string of islands called an island arc. There are many island arcs. The main ones that we read of most often include Japan, New Zealand, Indonesia, Caribbean Islands, Philippines, and the Aleutians.

What are 3 types of convergent boundaries and what landforms are associated with them?
Volcanoes, earthquakes and moutains. oceanic and oceanic, contiental and oceanic and continetal and continetal
