Q

How are volcanos formed at destructive margins

A

The newly melted rock is less dense than the magma then it will slowly erode into the continental crust at it will make cracks up the mountain. Then its starts to pool at a place and starts pressurizing. When the pressure is too strong the volcano will erupt.
