Convergent Boundary

This animation doesn't show magma formation, which would be at depth off the right of the animation. Magma (melted rock under ground) forms when water "sweats" off the subducting plate and rises into the mantle rock of the overlying continental plate. The water lowers the melting temperature of the rock and small bits of melt rise. When it rises to the surface, it can erupt as lava. If the magma holds lots of gas, it can erupt explosively when it reaches the surface where pressures are lower.

Interesting. They say that the next big earthquake in the Pacific Northwest is going to result from this very phenomenon - at the Cascadia subduction zone. Question: is seaward uplift taking place there, can it be measured, to what extent has it occurred since the last major quake in 1700, and is it comparable to the uplift that occurred just prior to previous major quakes? Also, how much is the uplift? Dozens, hundreds, or thousands of feet high?
