Volcanic activity at convergent boundaries is usually associated with subduction. When an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, it carries water and other volatiles into the mantle.

Continental Plates: These are tectonic plates that form the continents. They are primarily composed of granite, ... Convergent boundaries, also known as destructive boundaries, ...
