Why are there no active volcanoes at continental-continental convergent boundaries?

• There are. Most volcanoes occur at these boundaries.

• There is no subduction. The continental plates smash into each other and create mountains

• There is not enough magma in the mantle to feed volcanoes in these locations.

• The gravitational pull of the moon is too great and forces the magma to remain submerged.

• The downward force of the colliding continents keeps the magma from rising to the surface.

Convergent boundaries are considered ​ (a)   boundaries because lithosphere is either recycled back into the mantle or uplifted, creating mountains.

• destructive
• constructive
• conserved
• liberal
• transform

Convergent boundaries are considered destructive because lithospheric plates are ​ (a)   here through melting back into the mantle or smashing together to create mountains.

• created
• unchanged
• expanded
• destroyed
