One process that occurs only at convergent plate boundaries - Answer- Subduction -Volcanic eruptions produce a number of different hazards, including lava flows, pyroclastic flows and gas eruptions as well as secondary hazards such as lahars and jokulhaups. The main reason volcanic eruptions vary in magnitude is as a result of the type of volcano that is erupting which will produce various hazards to differing degrees. Magnitude is mainly measured by the VEI that measures things such as the v...
