The volcanoes of Indonesia are formed due to subduction zones between the Eurasian plate and indo-Australian plate?
The volcanoes of Indonesia are formed due to subduction zones between the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. The Eurasian Plate is moving towards the Indo-Australian Plate, and as the two plates collide, the denser Indo-Australian Plate is forced beneath the Eurasian Plate. As the Indo-Australian Plate descends, it melts and forms magma, which rises to the surface and erupts as volcanoes.
