How did the volcano Mt. St. Helens form?


A. This is a random hotspot on the earth where magma comes to the surface, it is

not at any plate boundary

B. This is a divergent boundary and plates are moving apart here to form volcanoes

and mountains

C. ML St. Helens is at a continental-continental convergent boundary and there are

no trenches here

D. Subduction a an oceanic continental convergent boundary caused a mountain

range to form and magma to come to the surface

Respuesta :

Given what we know about volcanic formations, we can conclude that the Mt. St. Helens volcano was formed by the process described in option D, "Subduction  an oceanic continental convergent boundary caused a mountain  range to form and magma to come to the surface".

Mt. St. Helens is a volcano that falls under the category of a stratovolcano. Stratovolcanoes are volcanoes that commonly form at subduction zones. This process forms chains or clusters of mountains along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where oceanic crust is pulled under another type of crust. This process tends to form mountain ranges which contain volcanoes, such as:

  • Cascade Range (To which Mt. St. Helens belongs)
  • Los Andes
  • Rocky Mountains
  • Campania Mountain range

and so on.
