what plates cause shiveluch to form
Shiveluch is the northernmost of the active volcanoes on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The peninsula is along the convergent boundary of two slabs of the Earthâs crust: the Okhotsk Plate to the west and the Pacific Plate to the east. Just offshore of the Kamchatka Peninsula is an impossibly deep trench in the ocean floor where the Pacific Plate is diving (subducting) beneath the Okhotsk Plate.
