subduction zone. The subduction zone is the place where two lithospheric plates come together, one riding over the other. Most volcanoes on land occur parallel to and inland from the boundary between the two plates. Questions or comments?
A2) Explain how subduction leads to volcanic activity. One of the plates will be pushed down by great pressure and temperatures so deep that the water from the subducting slab will begin to accumulate between both plates then eventually the plate will melt once the water lowers the temperature of the mantle. The magma then rises to the surface to produce a linear belt of volcanoes.
