1. They are generally violent in nature.
2. Crushing and melting of the old plate gives easy vent to magma.
3. Volcanic island arcs are the result of such eruptions.

Select the correct answer:

• A. 2,3 only
• B. 1,2 only
• C. 1,3 only
• D. 1,2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1,3 only

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Crushing and melting of plate margins at Convergent plate boundaries make venting out of magma very difficult, thus violent eruptions. Such eruptions generally occur at Ocean-Ocean and Oceanic-Continental plate margins. Volcanic arcs are formed as a result of these eruptions.
