Answer: TRUE

Explanation: Subduction zones have been associated with intense and spectacular volcanic eruptions in the world example includes a vulcanic eruption which took place at MOUNT MAZAMA, Oregon, United States of America.

Subduction zones are geographical locations where continental and Oceanic plate converge,leaving the continental plate to lay above the Oceanic plate causing it to subduct. This is possible because the continental plate is stronger and more bouyant than the Oceanic plate creating SUBDUCTION.
