Is there a typical volcano type that is associated with subduction at continent-ocean convergent plate

boundaries? What will be an ideal response?


Yes, continental volcanic arcs form in these areas, and they commonly are made up of composite
volcanoes (stratovolcanoes), such as the Central Highlands of Guatamala, the Andes in South America
or the Cascade Range in the northwestern United States. These arc volcanoes matter very much
because most people who live close to an active volcano do so at convergent plate boundaries
