A 1 2 3 4 Volcanic Environments Submarine volcano erupting under the ocean at the Mid Atlantic ridge, a tensional (divergent) plate margin.
B 1 2 3 4 Volcanic Environments Composite cone volcano forming part of an island arc at a compressional margin where two oceanic plates meet and one is subducted under the other.
C 1 2 3 4 Volcanic Environments Composite (stratovolcano) volcano found at a compressional margin where an oceanic plate is subducted beneath a continental plate. Lava is acidic and viscous.
D 1 2 3 4 Volcanic Environments Shield volcano formed at a hotspot in the earth’s crust. Lava is basic and runny. Eruption is non-violent.
