which kind of volcano is closely associated with convergent plate boundaries and subduction zones?
Convergent Plate Boundaries. Sections of the Ring of Fire, subduction zones that surround much of the Pacific Ocean, are underwater. Submarine volcanoes at these convergent plate boundaries are much like their counterparts on land. Many of these volcanoes form new islands that last only a short time. Left: Perhaps the most famous submarine volcano is Krakatau, a submerged caldera located between Java and Sumatra.
