| The volcanically active trail-ends are preferentially located near divergent plate boundaries and are rare near convergent boundaries. |
|
| We investigate the effects of Earth rotational changes on volcanism along convergent boundaries. |
|
| Bold lines are convergent boundaries thought to have active subduction zones. |
|
| Japan and the Aleutian Islands are located on convergent boundaries where the Pacific Plate is moving beneath the adjacent continental plates a process known as subduction. |
|
| In older areas of convergence, the composite volcanoes have been eroded, exposing the deeper plutonic granite batholiths that extend the entire length of the convergent boundaries. |
|
| As the tectonic plates migrate, oceanic crust is subducted under the leading edges of the plates at convergent boundaries. |
|
| These structural regimes broadly relate to convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries, respectively, between tectonic plates. |
